True, twitter has been a slow burn. Meanwhile, reddit gave themselves a countdown clock
I don’t think all forms of free voluntary moderation make you a sucker. I think the only suckers are the ones who do whats basically a full time job for free.
I’m certainly walking away for the most part, hopefully lemmy can become my daily scroller. That said though, I’ll definitely get on reddit again at some point. Its just too useful of a resource to never touch again. If I need some question answered and only reddit has it, I’m not gonna pass on it just to make a point that primarily hurts me. Other than that though, my primary reddit usage died with Apollo
I’ve been using wefwef too, and its been working good so far. Its a little slow but I think thats more from the huge increase in traffic rather than an inherent problem with it
Yeah Elon is an idiot, but its hard to believe someone could burn Twitter to the ground this fast unintentionally
I knew the protests weren’t gonna do anything the moment they gave it a time limit at the very beginning. Shit like that makes it seem like they wanted the protest to fail
Twitter and Reddit both dying at the same time was not what I expected in 2023
