At risk of going off topic, I don’t like Twitter posts like this:

Both users ‘verified,’ essentially paying for more engagement, but with no actual “verification” like community mods tagging users.
In your face engagement metrics all over the posts, as if that’s all that matters. Not even a user “poll” like Lemmy/Reddit or Mastadon/Facebook.
Hiding most replies other than the most algorithmically engaging ones.
Posted as a screenshot, unfortunately necessary as they essentially broke Nitter and it’s nigh unusable unless logged in.

I don’t like that the Twitter format is kinda the center of the social media universe, and seemingly staying that way now that we basically voted to back it with the US govt.

You joke (maybe), but Tumblr’s sharing mechanics are relatively healthy.
