Why are people still on Twitter? I deleted my account years ago.
I just used it to read, but I deleted a few weeks ago, don't miss it.
I've left two popular social apps, one more insidious than the other and admittedly, it was harder than I thought.
Honestly, there's a nice community of people advocating for a better city in my area, and I enjoy the "circlejerk" of agreeing with them and see their stuff. And want it or not, lots of officials and cities still have accounts there. It's easy to "Xcrete" about a shitty bike path to your local neighborhood mayor and include the right people to make it a bit more noticeable.
Why do people enjoy things i dont enjoy?
It’s like driving a car:
If you’re slower than me, you’re a retard. If you’re faster than me, you’re a bastard.
Yup, George Carlin said it best
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/XWPCE2tTLZQ
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Stop reducing things to 'you just don't like it.' God fucking dammit. Reasons matter!
Yes, I also hate that argument. "You just don't like it!!" As if there aren't legitimate reasons to be against it, like it's some neutral fact of life, reducing any opinion of it to the same level as liking or disliking a song or film.
Reality is a team sport, to some people.
Too true.
