Elon Musk buys and ruins Twitter

[grunge]

Looking at it. Exactly the same as Facebook and instagram

Threads is getting all the data….

Fuck that then! Why the fuck do they want all that data and why are they allowed?

Does Ric get to see that I’ve been watching midget porn and buying those underpants you get adverts for at the bottom of Bluemoon?

Looks like Threads might actually reach critical mass and take people away from twitter.

Elons in trouble.

Not sure how you define trouble, but not sure Elon will be using a foodbank anytime soon.

For me it is

Is it really though? I haven't been on it for a while, but last time I was on there, the main thing I noticed was the replies. They used to be ordered in terms of engagement, meaning that popular posts were at the top of the replies to anything. That basically means that you were likely to see the best/funniest/most interesting responses to a Tweet first. Last time I went on, the top responses were just full of nob heads who've bought a blue tick, with everyone else being buried way down the list. So content is no longer being promoted in order of audience engagement, but just on the basis of whether someone has paid.

And while we're at it, who are these people who are cheering on Threads? Have you ever used any of Facebook's apps? They're way worse than Twitter for not showing you anything you actually follow and just forcing bullshit on you. No doubt it'll be great for the first year or so, but as soon as they get a decent number of users, they'll ruin it with adverts and sponsored content like they have with every other app they own.

Correct. Replies have now become absolutely worthless on almost every news topic. Not possible to find additional insight in them buried under the blue check muck. I am sticking with Twitter for a few posters I like but for work it has become near unusable as folks don’t so much go to Threads but have stopped posting altogether, or move to LinkedIn to post content.

Facebook is absolutely appalling now — I am not kidding when I say 8 out of 10 posts in my feed are absolutely, befuddlingly irrelevant with maybe 1 in 10 of interest and the other 1 in 10 from a friend or group. I’m just about to give up entirely on it.

Fucked off Twitter about a year ago. Don’t really miss it. Never had Facebook or owt else. Only ‘social media’ I’m on is LinkedIn and even that’s getting full of bots/ knobhead’s making everything about pushing right wing politics.
