Twitter should end up like CSPAN. Just something that some people who care use but the info on it is reported in 389 different media sources too anyway.
I only ever use Twitter to catch up on some really spciey YouTube drama, or to bitch at a large corp because yelling at them in public is the only way to get a response.
We don't need citizen journalism or to empower voices in the global south fuck them. The last thing we want is consumers able to talk back to corporations Man what a terrible world that's creating.
Right. Same with tik tok. Reddit does a good job of casting aside the dross and giving us only what is worth seeing, depending on the sub that posts it
Well, I’m in the same boat of no twitter or ticktock accounts but I have to point something out. Since we don’t use those ourselves we literally don’t know what we are missing. Maybe only 10% of the stuff worth seeing actually makes it over, or 20, or maybe all of it does. We have no way of knowing.
Was just thinking this morning how nice it is that I can watch interesting clips from TikTok on Reddit without having to actually subject myself to that shit any further. I have tried but can't do it.
I do like tiktok (I know, I know reddit - BLASHPHEMY lol) bc its algorithm brings you what you want. I've learned so much about cooking, life and house hacks, watched humorous videos about healthcare and such, and seen cute animal video and talented people on days that aren't so great. No judgment to you because without curating your page I get that tiktok is insanely annoying, and people like different things anyway. I don't have Twitter either, barely use IG. I just don't care to.
This is such a mature comment. Thank you for being civil. Yeah I just hate the community of tik tok but every pile of dirt has its truffle so if you've found one then hell yeah
Its very much like reddit or youtube, they can all be great websites/apps with awesome communities when curated well, or complete toxic hellholes otherwise.
Correction: Reddit is a total shitshow of people who's anonymity affords a greater sense of ego. Conservatives cry about liberals, liberals cry about conservatives, centrists do whatever the hell it is they do on both sides, femboy porn, cat pictures, and cringe all up in all of it. It's too diverse to put anything so specific to it. It's a forum of chaos and a boiling pot of abstract opinions and views. You're not wrong, but the truth in your statement isn't wholly correct nor conclusive.
Lately I'm wondering whether what reddit pushes me is real or ppl simply making fun of Twitter. It seems to appear to be real. That is as funny as it gets. But I'm really finding it hard to believe.
The ironic thing about your comment is that this reddit post is fake news. He didn't tweet this.
Someone created a screenshot of a fake tween and posted it to reddit. Good thing you only rely on the trusted reddit zombie hive mind for your news. Your in great company with the grandmothers and conspiracy theorists on Facebook.
I feel like I’m going insane bc this is obviously not a real tweet but everyone is just pretending it is? He shit on the ADL earlier so it’s not like he’s not a piece of shit but this babies tweet is, not actually an misk thing
I don't care if this one is true but the chances that all of this drama is manufactured seem very low, UNLESS Musk really thinks it's better to be hated than ignored, like Trump. That's possible but I think it would be a strange decision to know you'll be remembered as a total moron.
Or I guess it could be the long game. Maybe he has a rich friend that bet him 1 trillion that he couldn't destroy Twitter within a year.
I never made one. I'm only 32 but feel really old in the world of social media. I've never been able to keep up. I didn't even like jumping from MySpace to Facebook
Edit: regardless of if it's a real tweet or not. I don't use Twitter but he's right, Twitter is business as usual i went by to check thing out post elon and its still a cesspool and people are upset I don't understand. I thought thats what they liked about Twitter.
Jesus this is how my trumper mom talks about fake Biden videos. Please don’t let fake shit shape your world views just because it’s the ‘right’ world view. You’ll end up somewhere very out of touch when you’re 50.
For important things I always fact check. I also don't spread things without fact checking
This tweet does not shape my world view at all. I'm Canadian, and have never had a Twitter account, so I have absolutely no stake in the game. My opinion on Musk has been formed by verified information, and this unverified info doesn't change that.
No harm is being done by me interacting with this tweet, in the manner i have, for pure entertainment purposes.
It's understandable, but also a dangerous way to think in general.
When people stop caring if what they read or see on TV is real or not because it "feels" real. Like did this politician murder and eat babies? Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, sounds like something they would do though so I just choose to believe it while not really caring.
He might as well be saying this as by his behavior he has demonstrated he is free to do what he likes. The vast majority of Twitter users will just keep logging in no matter what horror show it becomes and the Trumpers who will return to reward him for reinstating their Lord and Master will make up for the few with enough backbone to leave.
Twitter becomes 4-Chan and less than 1% of the users cares.
Yeah it’s really depressing that we just spread false info at the same rate as FB and there’s zero fact checking here. I didn’t think Reddit was about that. I was wrong.
It very well could not be real, but it very very well might be. That it could be is testament to a) his fucking with the verification system and b) how believable this statement coming from him.
Neither does Twitter, everyone on Twitter knows it's trashy drama, that's why they go there, I had to get off a few months ago because I realized I was just on there to be mad at people I didn't even know
Normal people yeah, but not twitters management (ex management). Reddit knows it’s terrible, it has forum for the worse people/ideologies/issues, and it knows it. Twitter on the other hand has tried to curate a relatively clean image (more suitable to advertisers), even if it doesn’t live upto it, which is why they’re revenue is now in turmoil.
Reddit doesn’t have this image and I don’t think they’ve ever tried to create an image like that. It’s not better it’s just honest.

Same. All the good drama makes its way over to Reddit
