A time for celebration

When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

EX-twitter.

I still prefer 'Xitter'

I'd rather store my food in Jeffrey Dahmer's fridge than my money with Elon Musk's company.

That's why he needed such a high compensation package from tesla lol.

The biggest loss here is that I follow a lot of artists on Twitter and when it goes kaput I won't have easy access to follow them.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Quite a few of the artists I follow on Xitter have already prepared backup Bluesky accounts.

Any chance they move to the fediverse?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Probably near zero chance. Fediverse is dead empty compared to the alternatives, so not ideal if they want to reach out to their fans.

You know, that's a bit chicken-egg, right? Like, platforms don't magically get users, those users need a reason to want to be there.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (4 children)

In my personal (and therefore, limited) experience, engagement is much harder to get in the fediverse. I hope it improves, but it's not easy to find people you don't know in order to follow them, and vice versa.
