RIP twitter, for many years it was the only social media i used(other than reddit). Once trump made the “most stable genius” tweet, i knew it was time to leave. Seems like i made a great decision, all said and done

The reason he purchased Twitter was a form of counter insurgence. It was radicalizing ppl til he bought it and filled it with propaganda bots.

Twitter has been absolute shite for almost 10 years. Then again, same goes for Reddit.

Same. For years it was the best news source on the Web, full stop. And not just actual news (Hello, Trumpanzees. That means facts and not "alternative" ones.) but info about all kinds of things. Then Sir Ketamine bought it and things just degenerated. Bluesky has been a decent replacement, but still doesn't have that regular edge that Twitter had in its best days. Maybe it will get there.

Come over to bluesky. The userbase has grown significantly recently, specially with many companies creating official accounts as well. There also seems to be a minor wave of a few European clubs leaving Twitter to move to bluesky because of Elon and what he's done to Twitter.

The only reason I am on there is football, and I love twitter back in times where it was fun and great. Sad to see what it has fallen on.
