    Not every social media format is for everyone, no need to be hostile about it. I just can’t bring myself to engage with TikTok and Reels and such, but other people really like them and why would that be a problem for me?

      Well, I do believe twitter makes people less intelligent^* which lead to Americans electing Trump (twice even), which eventually impacts me somewhere down the line.

      ^* Because the focus on short sentence and the engagement algorithms favours highly polarised angry one liners that trigger primal emotion and is a successful assassination of any intelligent discourse.

      And I say that having seen the progressive brain rot of my parents after they retired and started doomscrolling on twitter and being bombarded by more and more extreme messages, until it became a constant stream that can be summarised roughly by “brown people = bad”.

        These parts:

        Bluesky can fuck right off as well. I tried it to see if it was any different than Twitter but I had to nope out after 10 minutes.

        I’ve never understood the whole Twitter formula anyways. Scroll through endless ramblings of people I don’t care about? No thanks.

        There are far better places to stay informed about certain topics or get in touch with people you know.

          Yeeeah, none of those are particularly hostile sounding to me. He just doesn’t like the platform and is stating so. Notice how he didn’t say something like “Anyone who likes BlueSky can fuck right off”. He shared his opinion on an inanimate webpage, thats all.
