Nope. Quit the bird site when he went full asshat. Barely used the bird site before but it was helpful for breaking news in the olden days. Other than potential A11Y legal action if it fails for contrast issues, I don’t think anyone should care about this stupid site now. The tech community has moved on.
yeah, but the Twitter migration problem is “everyone i follow is here and not there so why would i leave?” It’s not like lemmy or Reddit where the individual disappears behind the content
Because it keeps breaking down; because people are getting randomly banned for no reason; because the chance it has a future is essentially nil, because there’s essentially no abuse controls any more so if someone spams you out of the blue multiple times with CSAM discussion and then calls you a necrophile when you block them (as happened to me this week) you have no recourse; because you can only send ten DMs a day or some stupid number now; because “X” is silly and ugly and you’re cross about the cute bird…
and because Elon is a narcissistic fuckboy, natch.
I can’t relate with your experience of what twitter is like. For me it’s the same it has always been. The niche corner of twitter I’m spending time on haven’t changed at all.
You’re supposed to leave because you don’t want to support a narcissistic fuckboy. You should actively try to avoid giving dragons more gold because all they do is burn villages to the ground.
I’m not experiencing any of the issues other people are complaining about. For me twitter is almost entirely positive experience. Lemmy is way more toxic
Because when you list those dozen reasons to which I then say these are something I haven’t noticed myself and to me twitter is exactly the same it was 3 years ago you’ll then say I still should leave and the main argument usually boils down to “Elon Musk bad and you shouldn’t support him by being there”
Yeah, this is a car wreck I can watch without backing up traffic behind me. Except the police are arresting some of the first responders while other first responders are punching the people who were in the wreck and the tow truck just pulled right into a car in one of the open lanes, work crews are hastily pulling down billboards and Elon is out there whistling to himself and adjusting the brightness of the street lights.
Anyone actually cares at this point?

Who doesn’t like going to see a circus?
I’m guessing that no one here does. If you’re in Lemmy, you’re probably also using Mastodon instead of Twitter.
I wish people were far more willing to just move on when the winds were changing, instead of sticking out for… god knows what reason
You clearly haven’t tasted the bottom of billionaire shoes.
Do you honestly think people are staying on twitter because they want to hang with Musk? Are you on Lemmy because you want to hang with tankies?
?
Many, many people idolize Elon Musk. That is an incongruous comparison.

I don’t get why I’m supposed to leave twitter all of a sudden. Because people on Lemmy don’t like it?
Because it keeps breaking down; because people are getting randomly banned for no reason; because the chance it has a future is essentially nil, because there’s essentially no abuse controls any more so if someone spams you out of the blue multiple times with CSAM discussion and then calls you a necrophile when you block them (as happened to me this week) you have no recourse; because you can only send ten DMs a day or some stupid number now; because “X” is silly and ugly and you’re cross about the cute bird…

So the answer is yes?
I’m sorry if that’s what you gathered from my response.
Did you ever use Facebook or Reddit? Do you still? Why have you joined the fediverse?
I left facebook about 6 years ago and reddit over a month ago. Joined lemmy to substitute for reddit
I feel like it is very obvious that twitter has no future. It has gotten a lot worse, and will keep on just getting even more so.
It had been obvious from as soon as Elon began firing nearly everyone at twitter, jeopardizing its future development and maintanance.

I can give you dozens of reasons but zero of them are this.
What did you see that gave you the impression that anyone thought that was a legitimate reason?
Because when you list those dozen reasons to which I then say these are something I haven’t noticed myself and to me twitter is exactly the same it was 3 years ago you’ll then say I still should leave and the main argument usually boils down to “Elon Musk bad and you shouldn’t support him by being there”
I don’t really care but I find it interesting. Just how quickly he is destroying one of the worlds most recognizable companies.
