Twitter was a great place to really discuss across the spectrum.. sure it was a hot mess of arguments and stubbornness, but it still allowed for genuine discussion. Twitter is dead. The bird was murdered. X is not Twitter. It just looks a bit like it. Like a zombie Twitter, it looks a bit like it, but the bird you knew is dead, this soulless creature has no affection to reciprocate.
Not to be confused with HexChat:
Or with XChat, for that matter.
Plenty are
you had twitter staffers celebrating the banning of certain individuals that they did not like as shown from leaked slack messages.
The social media bubble is a real issue. People surround themselves more and more with opinions that suite their beliefs and narrative. Only makes the problems worse.
I was about to mention this. iPhone to iPhone communication doesn't even need that.
Yeah I think the messaging app space is fully saturated.
I'll try to say this in a way that's allowed here - no one who wants to use an app where your messages aren't made available to entities you don't want accessing your messages would use an app associated with that person.
I suspect it's because Meta (Facebook) recognized that a lot of people joined or stayed because of their social networks, but the changes they kept forcing people to accept, like unasked-for suggestions in the timeline (which they suppress friends' posts for) were making a lot of people quit anyway. So Messenger may have been an attempt to retain those people with less tolerance for all that, to slow user base erosion without fixing the underlying problems.
The bots across most of social media are off the charts. I am hopeful we are near a point where you can't trust anything on social media, so people just...stop.
