Aside from political views, another social network will not help anything and is only another useless app to install.

For those of you who don’t know there’s a community for betas.

Twitter isn’t dying and isn’t broken. I have also learned the Atlantic is hit and miss. The users and content is still on Twitter. The people going to Mastodon are the niche group of techies. Mastodon isn’t for your casual or average twitter user which is a majority of twitter.

I think news and ads ruined social media today. I do miss the days of MySpace when people used to log on, hangout and message each other. You used to connect with your friends online. Today, social media isn’t really used like that anymore.

What Wander replied. Also you can subscribe to which community has the most subscribers/most active. Having a couple communities of the same topic can also mean the communities can be smaller than one huge community. A smaller community can have better discussions than one huge community.

They really did. I could have swore I saw r/blind officially migrate to Lemmy or Kbin a week or two weeks ago as well.

For Facebook being Facebook, I can’t help but think how will they screw up “Threads.” Instagram has become a junk platform and WhatsApp has declined as well. Meta or Facebook will try to monetize Threads or ActivityPub with their own take. I can’t believe anything decent let alone good will come from this.

It’s going to take some time or you can create the community. July 1st just arrived. So people are still trying to figure out what to do about Reddit. Not everyone was going to migrate to Lemmy July 1st when 3PA shut down. It’ll happen over time. In the meantime we can all do our part and contribute to the different communities now and create content so more people will want to join.

It’s like huffman and musk are sharing ways to screw over users and their platforms. I get a company needs to make money but personally, I don’t think this is the way.

This is crazy. I want to see if it actually blocks you from reading tweets. The article didn’t say when this goes into effect though.

Facebook and Instagram have been doing this for years. It was only a matter of time before Twitter started it.
