Xitter is a great name 😂
Roughly 46% have joined other social-media platforms, such as Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads and TikTok.
I have noticed some scientist content on mastodon turning up in the microblog section of my magazine. It's cool.
X is a total shithole. The Fedi is the place to be!
The Fedi is the place to be!
Sup with every thread on kbin having at least one person chanting about fediverse like someone is paying them?
Big Fedi shills, man.
It is my job I am paid by the iIlluminati to build up the Fediverse. The retirement plan they offer is amazing.
Really? Because as far as I know it's a pyramid scheme.
I mean, since we're reading this comment, that means we're already on the Fediverse - the more people here the merrier, I think
This is the best part of being a no-name science grad from a no-name school. I already left ages ago.
Frogs, feeling a bit steamy, begin to leave the pot.
Twitter X has been a flaming garbage dump for most of its life. The only thing visible at any given time is drama and outrage. Those looking for serious discourse and discussion fled long, long, long ago.
I hope they all move to Mastodon. Sure it will be sort of a "brain drain" on twitter, but it's not like the people on there listen to scientists anyway.
"And you know what else I don't like? The Moon! Why does it have to chase the Sun away? Every day? It's like clockwork! I mean, you could maybe probably set your clock to it. I wouldn't. But maybe more dumber people. They might do it. And another thing, sometimes I don't want to go to sleep yet! But no...we gotta have the moon. Gotta have it. Wouldn't it be nice if we could just have the sun? I mean I have a great tan. You could say I have the best tan. People love it. I have the best tan. I look great. I feel great. I've never felt better. I might live forever, doctors say. I think I might be aging in reverse. You know, that Benjamin Bratt disease. Boy, wasn't he great for inventing the dollar bill and kites? Love kites...they're great. Dykes, not so much! And we love the wind, don't we? Kites and dykes, both love wind. Can't fly the kites without the wind, right? And you know the climate is doing so great now. We have the wind. The water, the fire, the earth. It's amazing, I tell ya. What was the question again? Yea, I slept ok."
X has got horribly toxic - just not the place to have any type of discussion any more. I'll bet two years back no-one would ever have though X could go down like this. I always thought it was going to happen to Facebook first, but seems Zuck is at least not as simple-minded as Elon is.
Twatter has been toxic for years, the only reason its obvious now is because they stopped moderating and brought back all the Nazis.
Has the site really changed that much since the Muskification, or are people just exposed to more negative stuff because the Elon hate-bandwagon is amplifying everything?
I don't use twitter at all, so I have no frame of reference.
More right wing people on X probably has a factor in that.
