By the time he's finished Elon will have turned Twitter into a tepid sea of bot-fueled fake engagement.

It is already happening. I have soft-blocked so many sus followers that I have lost count.

Being on Twitter right now is a bit like grocery shopping this week.

It is a certainty that no one can pick up on your trolly sarcasm here. For sure. No will notice.

Sock reports live from Twitter so that you don't have to.

What's happening on Twitter right now is the good people have mostly gone and now it is just chaos being cheer-led by assholes.

House Democrats are getting Trump's tax returns weeks before they lose the House majority.

It's unusable. Between every fifth post being an ad, the massive accounts are now taking to pathetic tactics to retain their followers.

What a fucking garbage fire.

Twitter right now is one part promoted tweets, one part massive accounts begging people to stay, and two parts 4chan.

Twitter's massive accounts vs. everyone else.

Dont listen to a sock, of course. It is a free internet and you can be where you want to be. I looked into those though and I am glad to be here.

Hive has a user interface and algorithm problem. You are tossed into an echo chamber the moment you join. Tribel is Occupy Democrats and asks for a weird amount of personal information. I faked all that and it is basically far-left Twitter. Mastodon has a federated timeline that scrolls so fast as to be useless, and also has an impersonation and moderation problem. Abuse on all of them is amlost completely unchecked.

I am not sure what their appeal is when this place is here.

I've spent a fair amount of time on many of the Twitter alternatives and this one is the best. There's a level of simplicity and authenticity that doesn't exist among any of them. Many can best be described as "odd."

Twitter has basically become the comments section on YouTube.

Make #PizzaLove, not #PizzaWar.
