Yeah fair points. I will say this implosion of the social media I used to use has pushed me towards doing other things than scrolling on my phone lol, and that is a positive thing.

That’s fair I suppose.

I disagree, I just think some kind of engagement algorithm would be better. I haven’t used bluesky or threads so I can’t speak to them. I’m just saying that back in the day on twitter, I had no problem finding a bunch of very funny and clever posts, and posts were catered to me well. Through both me following people and I assume through the engagement algorithm. I’ve tried adding a bunch of hashtags, but I’m not finding a bunch of hilarious stuff to send to my friends like I did back then on twitter.

Bunch of spam too, because bots use the hashtags, so I’m often scrolling through a bunch of auto-posted stuff. Idk. Maybe I’m using it wrong. I just feel like your average person isn’t going to go through all that crap so they’ll cling to twitter until it dies.

And I’ve tried switching instances around, which is just confusing honestly, and didn’t really help with finding lots of content that I want to see. I used mastodon more when I was able to mirror people I know are funny on twitter to my mastodon feed lol. I want to like it, I just find I’m never tempted to go on it. Can’t figure it out.

Or just use neither, like I’ve ended up doing.

I’ve stopped recommending it. The discovery and trending post mechanisms are either garbage or non-existent, and it’s really hard to get a feed that’s remotely entertaining. Devs also seem ideologically opposed to adding any features like that. It’ll just give normal people who aren’t willing to deal with all this crap a bad taste in their mouth when it comes to the fediverse. I do recommend lemmy to people tho.

That is bizarre lol

That’s fair lol. I can’t understand people who still use it.

Idk, I think my only favorite thing about the whole debacle is that almost literally everyone just ignored musk’s whole name change thing, and still call it twitter and tweets. Because everyone recognizes what a fucking stupid name X is lmfao.

Probably not more expensive than the immense computing power they would need to support something like the method I mentioned. I’m quite sure they’ve done a cost analysis on this lol.

I need some of whatever he’s smoking

That would require Microsoft to do something like running a 1:1 local render of everything the player is doing in their sim, for everyone playing the game, at all times. And then they’d have to stream that video feed to the player and somehow make sure the elsewhere-rendered terrain is synced up perfectly with the player’s local game. Doesn’t really seem reasonable.

Dude. What?

Ridiculous that they’d threaten banning you for reporting, y’know, completely off-topic posts with clear political agendas.

It’s mindblowing how much they’re creeping into the shitposting community.

I’d love that, Tesla is a fucking joke of a company

Excuse me?

Memes are so entertaining and funny on the memes community boy I love memes

Lmfaoooo the edit with a meme pandering to himself

I mean, as a millennial, I mostly taught myself to type. I’m fast enough, but have bad technique and could be faster. I was only ever actually trained to type in grade school, and barely. Once in a while in computer class we would play an educational typing game.

My mom is much better at typing than I am, because she was trained to type in college. That’s not really a thing anymore.
