    I never got the appeal of twitter/x, and I never will. I get other social networks, some more, some less, but Twitter’s just stupid IMO. I hope that shit’ll die sooner than later.

      I can’t get past the og twitter which was everyone blogging minutiae of their life. What they ate for lunch. What street they’re walking down. What they thought of the music on the radio.

      Somewhere along the way people tried to make it legit, but also it was people trying to claim firsties for any event worth mentioning.

      It’s just a crap platform. Too much bs to wade through to find anything good.

        I get the appeal of twitter. I’ve said this before. You want to know tour dates? When that next book in the series is coming out. When a new game trailer is available? Movie trailer? You want to know about when a vlog creator posts their newest content? Twitter was good for those things. I used to use it for that. Now it’s just useless for most things. And I’m back to using RSS feeds, more than half of which don’t work properly.

          It’s still the perfect one-to-many communication method. Best way to get news from people you kinda give a shit about, the rest was just noise.

          I miss so much news in racing and gaming due to not being on Twitter anymore
