    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…

      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 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’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 people on Lemmy don’t like it?

      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”
