Are you leaving Twitter?

[danny la rouge]

Singular 'they' has existed in English for centuries, so these people obviously have a problem with reality.

Indeed. It’s actually only very recent times that it’s fallen a little from use, but we do still use it habitually.

“There’s someone at the door”.
“What do they want?”

But Victorians were much more used to that form.

 

[danny la rouge]

Have you switched to only view latest tweets? It's the star symbol in the top right of the app and makes it so you only see tweets from people you follow.

I swear most of the stuff people complain about on twitter is because they haven't done that.

Agreed.

They mostly have a problem with respecting other human beings, but they'll hardly take on board criticisms of some random woke snowflake like me, so I'm not bothering to shout that into the void.

The more I’ve read about how Twitter is being run, the more I don’t like it. I have, therefore, deactivated my account today.

 

[xenon]

I heard today that amongst other staff, Musk has sacked the entire accessibility team.

I'm actually gonna check out Mastodon as 1, I'm curious and 2, part of my job is advising on tech accessibility, - we may well get asked about it.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

That’s handy, thanks. But I think really if Mastadon is to come into its own, a different style and content of discourse of its own needs to develop. (It does have that to a degree, but it won’t if it becomes mirror Twitter).

Oh absolutely, It has a much more human vibe currently, how long that lasts? No idea but I hope it's indicative of the culture being built. This tool really is best for those who share content like links or reasonable stuff not shit posting imo...

 

[RoyReed]

I'm not quitting Twitter (for the time being at least) but I've just opened a Mastodon account - Roy Reed (@RoyReed@mastodonapp.uk) in case anyone wants to follow.

I see a Twitter Blue button has turned up. Something else to ignore along with whatever Twitter Circles is.

I mean, if it’s a place the porn bots can go and leave us in peace, that’d be nice.

i'm havering thinking about whether to leave - now they have invited / welcomed back the racist twats, homophobic twats, transphobic twats (and twats who are any combination thereof) i'm starting to think there's a matter of principle.

blargh.

Wonder what is holding the web and Android teams back.

I like the people who say things like "I REFUSE to use pronouns"

Musk's probably fired them.

Dogecoin?

I find it annoying enough when doggy bots try to flog me crypto, but when the actual platform joins in, I’m outa there.

 

[danny la rouge]

Yes, I said doggy. What of it?

 

[pbsmooth]

I hate it but there is also nowhere else as good for getting immediate reactions, and funny shit, to events as they happen. sport, news, politics whatever. but I certainly won't be paying. and would love it if something better would replace it but not holding out much hope.

Something about making your profile pic an NFT? What a load of bloody twaddle.
