Twitter was a shit hole the second it launched.

It just became a bigger shit hole when the Nazi bought it.

Twitter has always sucked. It's almost entirely responsible for the reason we have such a need for immediate information. There is no patience anymore or even reputable journalism and reporting because being first is more important than being right.

The reason the media is as shit as it is now is almost directly causes by Twitter. It should have been shut down years ago.

If something can come out of nowhere and dominate a already established platform... That platform probably already sucked to begin with.

That's the same everywhere. Like here, like on Reddit, like in real life, people have ideas and then say "won't somebody do something about it!"

Everyone likes to imagine doing something but nobody actually wants to do anything.

Anecdotal example; the beginning of this year proved that Discord is in bed with supplying profiling training model data to ICE in the United States. That made me want to nope the fuck out. Why stick around where every word you write will contribute to the ability for fascist agents to shoot their next victim? Tear apart the next family?

So me and a friend set ourselves to build an as-close-as-possible drop-in replacement Matrix server for all our Discord friends.

Nobody came.

Fucking nobody came.

Everyone recognises the problem, but when it comes to taking a simple action, a dead easy simple action like make an account on a server owned by a friend they've known for a very long time, all we got were excuses. "But nobody else is moving", "maybe I'll consider moving when it gets even worse", "I just wish somebody would do something..."

So it's not Bluesky. It's humanity.
