If it kills Twitter it will be a net benefit to the world

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 77 points 9 months ago (3 children)

It won’t be, because it’s just another Twitter.

[–] normanwall@lemmy.world 26 points 9 months ago

Lol, correct.

But Elon loses more money and we don't have to hear about him or Twitter as much

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Old twitter was bad, modern twitter pays to show everyone bigoted propaganda and actively courts Nazis. Mastodon is better, but most don’t want the inconveniences. So yeah blue sky it is

[–] anothermember@lemmy.zip 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It feels like the Twitter from just before Elon when it was still bad but not terrible, I was hoping it would be more like the Twitter from 10+ years ago when it was still reasonable.

I waited 4 months for my invite, took a look around and went back to Mastodon.

You'd have to go back 10 years for that, modern discourse is poisoned, and even then things weren't that rosy back then for all.

[–] anothermember@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not sure what you mean there.

[–] Kyatto@leminal.space 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I mean if you wanted anything like what you had 10 years ago you'd have to go back 10 years. I don't think it's possible to ever have anything like what it was back again any time soon.

I was talking about Twitter. 10 years is not a long time.

I don't see much has changed in the last 10 years fundamentally, if you're comparing 20 years ago I might agree.

Mastodon's AGPL license will always be better though

[–] normanwall@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

I'm on Lemmy, I'm already sold on the fediverse idea, even though I haven't read the AGPL license :)

Yeah I’m going to support the movement as long as Trump will not appear on it.
