Twitter is dead.
I've been online since the early days. Social community move attempts usually fail, for various reasons I won't get into here.
Where they succeed, is after minor exodus becomes a mass exodus. Since there's a base community established, fence sitters aren't coming to an empty house

There’s like an apogee, an iceberg tipping moment where critical mass at the destination is achieved and it probably won’t stop.

I still miss Yahoo groups
At that point, you've reached the point of no return.
Like infinitely better there's no reason to use it. Even maggots have enough sense to come here we're all going to be on this bitch lol

Are there any examples of people dipping their toes in the @bsky.app water and coming back out saying "Nah, not for me"?
There were also a few who left until better self-moderation tools were developed (Ex: J Bouie).
And some more recent arrivals, who came in gruff and got blocked a lot, may have now scurried back to X...
At this point, Muskrat doesn't really care about it, since he will make excessive profits from his alliance compared to what he lost on the platform.
Yes Tesla's stock price has risen since the election, but the introduction of tariffs will soon reverse that trend for Tesla and the entire S&P500.
He will lose money from this presidency, make no doubt about it.
He did that 😔
Historical precedents indicate a decade or so at most.
But hell, fingers crossed for only a solid 20! 🤞🏻
I'm hoping for only a shaky ~4 years. I think they'll cause a major recession before their term is up and then get voted out.
At least they can't buy a way in my TL, this time
Dude couldn’t manage a lemonade stand without government subsidies and Saudi money.
I thought Republicans hated junkie welfare queens but I guess as long as they’re pasty pedos like them, it’s all good!!!

If you had told me several years ago that a Twitter clone / successor made by its founder and Reddit would end up being the least toxic major social media platforms, I would have called you insane.
This is war.
Gonna be interesting to see if the MO up holds when he does the same with US government as efficiency governer
i think i was clinging to the memory of what twittter used to be.
Was literally thinking about this just then. As in, after the US election I decided to get off Twitter altogether and after a few days came onto Bluesky and almost everyone I followed had migrated here and the place was jumping.
And I was wondering what caused the mass migration.
Once you get over nostalgia and check out Bluesky, you will realise something is very familiar here……
The alternative offered here is a familiar clone of the original, but the original has knowingly taken active measures to drive off a user base.
As the user base has migrated, the original has taken no steps to address the discontent instead has taken further steps.
