I honestly don’t understand why people waited so I don’t use mastodon but I did cancel my Twitter account literally the first week he bought it. It wasn’t hard to see this coming and I just don’t get the delay.
I joined bluesky a year ago to check it out. There wasn’t much happening on it at the time, so I got bored of it real quick. It was like the original version of Twitter.
The day after the election, I got on X to see what kind of shit show was going on there, but my account was permanently suspended. I was just on there the day before the election with no problem. I rarely posted anything on it, but I have made some left leaning posts in the past. Like, 2 years in the past. Kinda weird to suspend my account right after the election. Whatever, I was never a big X user.
So, I opened bluesky to see if it improved at all, and holy shit, it’s bopping. It’s still like old Twitter. It’s open source, no ads at all, and they make it really convenient to find accounts to follow with “starter packs”. I gotta say, I love it. There are almost no fake accounts or bots. They get weeded out pretty quick.
That’s become my new Twitter, and Lemmy is my Reddit.
You said you didn’t understand why people use Twitter, mastodon, or bluesky. I explained why I, and a bunch of others, use bluesky and why Twitter sucks. Is that ok?
I had an old Twitter account I barely used but I sould still hop on here and there to troll some chuds. After the election that account was booted, yeah.

I still don’t understand why people even use Twitter or mastodon or blue sky. It all just looks like a Facebook feed to me.
Probably to avoid “Facebook” people (angry middle aged Republicans and easy to swindle old folks).

So you follow people you don’t know, instead of people you do know? I don’t really understand what your story has to do with my comment, I’m sorry.

That’s fine. It skips the entire question of why use any of them in the first place though.
🤦♀️omg
“omg” yeah. You said you use it because it’s like old Twitter. That means nothing when I was asking why would you use Twitter.
Cool. Ok.
Did you come from Reddit? Just curious.
Are… are you me?
Because that is my exact experience.
Really? You got booted off of X during the election too?
