twitter died ages ago; it's dead you wouldn't say a company was still going strong just because its abandoned office buildings house a group of squatters

There was a lot of speculation about there being some giant fundamental collapse, but in the end it's seeming way more like Twitter's demise will be more because of how bad a platform it turned into in such a short amount of time. It really is amazing how fast the stereotype of blue checks was created and manages to be true in every single big post on the site now. It would be very funny if the site completely broke like that time Tumblr let you edit html or whatever (I'm not a program person so I don't know the specifics of that) but the reality is just gonna be a lot of people quiet quitting like Facebook.

In all seriousness, the service is still functional in many ways but doesn't do everything it once did. And I'm just talking technically.

If you're still on Twitter apparently there are some REALLY REALLY REALLY bad videos going around now that staying around way longer than they should and also going viral. If you can't resist the bad website at least make sure autoplay is off

Yeah, that's pretty much what is happening. At this point I imagine people just logged out and forgot about it, and most companies I see today don't even bother listing a 'follow us on Twitter' but instead point to an online presence they can manage. There's no real grand explosion, just a lot of people realizing that it's over and most companies just not renewing or bothering to follow through with payment or such and letting things expire. Especially if Musk is trying to extort people by taking away their usernames. All that means is that companies will just put out a blanket 'we do not use Twitter anymore' and move on with life.

Everybody is pretty much going to leave one way or another.

It's gonna be a slow, slow death until there's a clear alternative. There's been more outages, and the blue check stuff is making a lot of the viral posts more loaded with garbage, but it's still usable. For now. Mentioned this before, but Twitter's biggest asset is that everyone It's gotten noticeably worse, but Bluesky is still invite only, and Mastodon is suffering from the fact that only die-hards really moved over there, and is way more complicated to understand with the server stuff. Smartest thing Bluesky is doing atm is copying the interface of Twitter almost 1:1, which will probably give it a better feel than Mastodon, which is, tbh, terribly clunky. To be seen whether either gets enough momentum to get the President and Amanda Bynes to join. No. 6 posted:I don't want to explore this but can you be more specific? Gore? CP? Hate speech? What do you mean going viral and staying around longer than they should? They're probably referring to Avatar 2

I described it above but in this case animal abuse. It's been showing up on people's timelines because this site is broken Staying around in that there's no one at Twitter anymore who should be deleting this poo poo and banning people

It really is amazing how fast the stereotype of blue checks was created and manages to be true in every single big post on the site now. It's appallingly bad now. A "good" social media site promotes popular material that generates engagement (for better or for worse). Now ,some dickhead with 5 followers named whitegenocide can pay 8 bucks to have his tweets bumped to the top of every viral post.

Squibbles posted:Did he leave the forums after the crime against free speech that was banning all those pedo anime nerds or what? Popehat has a decent number of haters on the forums and they kinda come in two flavors: 1) People who strongly believe that government should ban hate speech, which Popehat disagrees with. In their eyes that basically makes him nazi adjacent. 2) People who get really mad that he tells them what the law is instead of what they want it to be. He’ll say something like “yeah this guy is a douchenozzle but what he did isn’t illegal” and some people will turn that into “actually Popehat really likes this person”. SA forums kinda has a problem where they see almost everything as a shibboleth or dog whistle because we’re all mainlining outrage and are hooked on it. Edit: Popehat has always been fine with private forums moderating how they see fit, so I’d doubt he got upset at SA banning a bunch of anime pedo nerds. ryde fucked around with this message at 19:48 on May 6, 2023 |

CharlestheHammer posted:Oh he’s one of those that just interjects what the law is even if it isn’t relevant? Not really. He responds when someone says that a person is definitely going to jail or losing a lawsuit to point out that they’re actually not. That’s relevant and on topic. But people don’t like it when you interrupt a circle jerk. Like in the Musk thread people got really butt hurt when he pointed out Unsworth was unlikely to win his defamation suite against Musk (on Twitter not on the forums, but it was obviously cross posted) and assumed that he was some secret Elon stan. At least one person insisted that Lin Wood was a top tier attorney and knew better which is LOL if you remember what Lin Wood went on to do.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Twitter was supposed to blow up by now. There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom, where is the earth shattering kaboom? I've worked on systems like Twitter. Twitter had good devs, probably still has a few. Good devs usually build robust systems and one of the primary things you work with is 'what happens if system X suddenly dies'. When something goes to poo poo you patch it up. Good devs/SREs can do this in hours in a lot of cases. It's not a good solution, but it means that the thing works in a degraded state. In a normal company you fix X up afterwards, address the core problem, make sure it won't happen again; that's the tricky bit that's probably not happening here. I know companies who have bumped along with services in a degraded state for a couple of years and the public wouldn't even notice, but behind the scenes urgent poo poo was happening all the time to keep afloat. Twitter is rotten inside without a bunch of investment on tech debt, we can already see the corpse bloat, it's just a matter of time until it pops, spraying users with decaying meat.
