    Look at the twitter. Whatever they can do people stay there. Maybe the hardcore users or geeks will leave, but the crowd will stay.

      Nah Twitter is a shell of its former self. Try searching up a niche subject and 99% of the tweets are ads.

        Yeah, the entire niche industry community I was on twitter for absolutely ate it during the early days of Elon and the majority have moved on - mainly to social media spaces like Insta or TikTok.

        We got some of them on Reddit, even - though that sure was a brief and shallow victory, all told.

          Yeah I’m software educator in a few small niches. I used to just go and search the topic and make friends, help people out but now 99% of the posts are automated shilling for some business or some SEO spam.

          I still try to pop in but it seems like Twitter is a lost cause especially since they put search behind login now. Just like Reddit they have alienated content creators and it shows.

      After Elon and Rogen harassed a covid scientist today with a follower doxing and going to the scientist’s house, I’m not sure how long twitter has left. That lawsuit is going to bury shit fast.

        Fucking Joe Rogen man. I keep trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. He seems like the sort of person who believes what the last person told him until someone tells him the opposite. But now it seems like he’s becoming actually malicious.
