How's this:

The person who picks the correct date of when Twitter dies (or closest to) gets a free av change/upgrade

I'll take submissions for the next week or so, unless Twitter folds before then and then uh... I guess no one wins?

I basically assume Twitter will continue forward as a Myspace or Digg.com embarassment forever more or less. So I don't think it will ever truly "die". But death in this case is something akin to Elon selling it off for cheap, or a mass exodus, or nearly all advertisements gone, it becomes a right wing chudosphere failure, or some flavor of this.

I think August 18th 2023.

its bizarre because twitter is huge in japan, its not like thats some region where they barely get any traffic. half the population uses it. facebook never took off there and tiktok is even more exclusively high school girls than it is in the west, and unlike, say, china, japan has no real equivalent region-specific social media site. the only jp-exclusive social media service is line, which is more of a messenger app.

and unlike the us where the twitter userbase is aging, teenagers use twitter a lot in japan. baffling decision, its the one region where theres potential for growth.

It’s not possible for a right wing social media site to ever really succeed at a large scale because the right wing social media audience, whatever they might say, doesn’t actually want an all-right-wing space, they want and need the libs to be there to yell at and dunk on. Whenever they try to build a no-libs-allowed clubhouse it quickly falls apart because they have no one there to trigger and triggering the libs is the one thing they actually live for.

Yeah, I'm not expecting Twitter to actually shut down anytime in the next few years, maybe not even in the next decade. Even Livejournal is still technically alive even though most of its users left for greener pastures in the 2010s because of either bad coding decisions or the new owners saying users must follow Russian obscenity laws (aka no gay stuff). My old e-mail still gets the occasional "Today is your friend's birthday! Go tell them hi even though you haven't logged in since 2009 and your friend died in 2011!" message.

no it fails because they go night of long knives on each other and then the community is dead because there's no actual leadership, nazis are stupid as gently caress and that's a trait and characteristic, not a coincidence

edit:
MAGA chuds already have no direction because Trump is an incontinent dementia-addled drug addict, when he dies that poo poo is going to go afloat just like Nazis did and it's gonna be really bad for everyone because it is only going to capture the dumbest, most racist, terrible people on every continent.
