i never got into twitter or bluesky. i just never got why people needed a twitter like thing in their life tho

10 years ago the appeal was you could interact with famous people like you were rattling a stick on the bars of a human zoo. My favorite thing online used to be Trent Reznor's unhinged 2am rants about Courtney Love or some record executive.

Now yes if you're a well adjusted person and not a feral hooting goblin like me, Twitter has no appeal

News. There is pretty much nothing better for breaking news than twitter.

I swear twitter was born because someone noticed that the comments under news articles were only ever reacting to the headline and not the article itself; therefore, cut the chaff had have a website where you can only post and communicate in headlines, no articles required.

Narcissists tend to need / want a great deal of constant praise and affirmation, as well as a high level of either real or perceived general social status / popularity.

The only reason I've considered getting a Twitter is to advertise online "sites".

twitter for some, I imagine, is because whenever they spout asinine nonsense in real life people ignore it or tell them to fuck off. For others though, I believe it’s because they really like to rate dogs.

Main thing for me was just getting updates from youtubers on when videos would drop and shit. Other appeal was just like "joke" accounts where the user would pretend to be a character or post OC of some kind. And there was some that just posted interesting shit like old ads or random "perfect" movie frames. The changes since Musk took over has basically killed those tho. And then there was just the whole appeal of microblogging where if you actually cared about what someone had to say about a movie or whatever or some random thought they had. So friends but also celebrities and stuff. It made sense. But now it's just a very different sort of site. It's a "content" site, everyone churning out "content" for "engagement"

Yeah for sure - I briefly had an account when it first came out - and it quickly lost appeal for me (same with fb and other social media). So I literally haven’t touched any of it, and joke like I have a high horse, but really I’m just stressed out by electronic social connection

I admit I got into BlueSky to make some art and hopefully make some comm money. Ended up I only got bots.
