Everyone forgot that Twitter was the most harmful website on the entire internet when Elon Musk stepped in and made it even worse.

At least people aren't using Tumblr/Tumblrina as an insult anymore

Like oh gee I wonder why Tumblr is uniquely hated, could it be because of the large queer and female base? Nah couldn't be.

Not really. The essence of R*ddit is about being a profoundly unfunny psuedointellectual dweeb. The essence of Tw*tter is more about jumping on some hate bandwagon after misremembering an edited screenshot of the designated character of the day. Tw*tter is too funny and R*ddit is too contrarian to pull off character of the day hatefests.

It's X the everything app now, get with the times.

Hmm, very Reddit of you to say that

Omg yes! I told someone once "bluesky is just 2016 Twitter and its going to get worse from there and they were like " but Twitter was good back then!

No it was not. It has damaged our way to communicate in ways that will take a while to fix.

It has more to do with the fact that Twitter, much like 4chan, is a terrible hell scape that needs to be wiped off the face of the planet, but has played host to the creation some of my favorite content the Internet has to offer.

Reddit, on the other hand, always felt like a dusty mirror to older forum posting, a centralized location of all the dumbest, rudest and most psuedo-intellectual people who couldn't hack it on the actual expert forums. A glorified reposting site.

Correct, twitter was never good, twitter was always bad

Twitter is like reddit but instead of being designed for discussions it's designed for wading through an ocean of piss.

What's the difference?

Unlike twitter its hard to create a good subscription feed on reddit. I was ruling my timeline with an iron fist, blocking and muting thousands of accounts and at the end I still had an active feed of content. If you try that on reddit you get an empty page real quick. So I think people are more lenient on twitter because they associate it with their heavily curated niche, not the 'hivemind.'

Twitter has been, by far, the best source of information on the Gazan holocaust and nothing else comes close. I will have a nap on this hill.
