the night before last, i entered a rare and special period of hyperfocus that let me completely describe why i think twitter is dying, culturally, and it seems to have resonated deeply with every twitter user i know who's read it, so i was asked to share it here too hikari.noyu.me/blog/2024-10...

Thanks for articulating this. I learned something. It captured a piece of internet history beautifully. I have actually spent more time using Bsky than Twitter so I have taken a different path here. There’s still room and time for bsky to become something not Twitter and possibly better. Maybe.

Now imagine if, after making sure your tweets escaped the intended audience, Twitter prioritized showing the comments and reactions of the absolute worst part of your non-intended audience and...yeah they already do that goddamn

This is absurdly good and brought to light some stuff we’ve had a vague idea of but had no way to like, actually describe until now? The part about clashing subcultures in a fandom or other Big Tent Of People Who Like [Thing] specifically is very poignant. To save the site they killed its soul -.-
