RIP Twitter

I've just seen the new theme and logo and I almost threw up in my mouth.

This app is an absolute joke now and I think this is the beginning of the end. Actually we're in the middle of the end bc that demise began when Elon Musk walked into the HQ with a basin - which gave us all ideas where twitter was heading: Down the toilet.

Seriously! What is wrong with this muppet? Why is he such a bellend? What's the point of all this?! His army of morons are even more ridiculous. 'Oh yeah, let's give more money to a trillionaire so we can use this app thats already free! Yay'

So what are the alternatives? Are you guys switching over to Threads? Already on Threads? Getting off Internet altogether?

Let me know your thoughts.

I was never keen on Twitter, and I’m certainly not joining threads, I don’t like social media that is owned by billionaires if I can avoid it so I try to opt for de-centralised apps instead, so I have been using Mastodon as part of the fediverse for quite a while and that’s good

Technology-wise, if you can put up with this place, you can probably put up with a broken version of Twitter.

Nothing can look and feel as bad as Mastodon. I tried it for about thirty seconds and only found the bams, gammon, yoons and fuds I'd blocked on twitter.

Substack is, for now, a much nicer place.

As the UK has no functioning media, this is a very valid point.

Twitter is great for media, if you can filter the nonsense and propaganda.

Twitter has never interested me in the slightest.

The new name for it apparently is "X".

I think the expression "more money than sense" applies very well to Elon Musk.

I just hope I can re-establish the information sources I have.

We used to have bendy buses in London. TFL said "they're not bendy buses, they're articulated vehicles"

We carried on calling them bendy buses until they started bursting into flames then disappeared.

I'm startin to wonder if Musk owns TFL

I have never used Twatter, facepage, TikTok or any of these things and feel so much better as result. It is however interesting to see how Elon Musk is chucking it down the pan.

How do you know you feel better as a result? I've never driven a Ferrari but couldn't say 'I feel better as a result'

Interesting POV given the number of right wing nut jobs that use it as their go-to resource for news.

Twitter is/was probably the best social media app. The amount of news I get from there hours before anyone who doesn’t use the app is amazing. I’ll be sad to see it go down the pan and I don’t think Threads is good enough to replace it.

Yes, it feels like Elon is trying to find his way into the Truth Social/ Parler market by wrecking what has been a good place for news organisations, journalists, academics, etc.
