already have discord and already ruled mastodon out, Hive Social seems like the sort of thing I am looking for in theory, but I'll be damned if I'm going to put this much work into posting on it

The number one response I have gotten talking to non twitter people about Mastodon is "you mean the metal band?"

"You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling."
Did anybody else actually text message to Twitter on their flip phones when it started out?

I felt like I was the only one. Pre-smartphone Twitter is so wild!

I did! But nobody I knew used it and I don't think I had unlimited text messages yet so it was just an empty novelty a few times before I ignored it for years

I have never lowered myself to having a Twitter account, but I did used to text searches to Google. That was a neat feature that nobody knew existed and was quietly killed in like 2011 or so.

My favorite obscure Google thing is that I used to call 800-GOOG-411 to get local business hours when I was out of the house

Fun fact they used all the voice data from that to train the first iterations of the google voice recognition. It worked pretty well for getting a wild corpus of different accented speech, albeit through poor cellphone audio compression.

Lowtax might have been a broken brained fool but his "The internet makes you stupid" catchphrase was on the loving money. I'm seriously starting to wonder if the cost/benefit of the whole loving internet was worth it.

I deactivated my twitter account today and it was weird because I hate social media and it was the only one that wasn’t a total cesspool.

Months ago I would have happily opened it up just to say something like “if grand means big why do we call them grandkids” and never look
back. Now that it’s Musks personal chat service there is an absolutely disgusting feeling that he would respond.

There should be an app that acts like how I used Twitter - it just lets you write something, says you can use at max 9 more letters or whatever, and then it goes away. I can respond to an Applebees ad with that’s what she said and it’s fine.

just shitpost on a discord with your irl friends

or shitpost on a discord with your online friends

or shitpost on this website with the furries you were wrong about and have apologized to

Well now it feels like an apology will come off as fake. I don’t have any real friends and all of my internet friends were lost during the Heaven’s Gate mass suicide so I do want to make ammends (sic) so I can post here. I’m sorry if you are a furry and I made you feel bad.

This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

yeah it was good for that once but things dried up over the last couple years. I wouldn't buy a thing off a blue check tho

apparently bluesky is meant to be the twitter replacement but honestly everyone i know of over there is extremely 40, and i already have a place to post with my fellow olds

Almost forgot about bluesky.
I'm just not sure where all the art has migrated to yet, I don't think there's really a consensus. It's annoying feeling like it's all been in limbo this year.

looks like tumblr or insta, with way more patreon promotion than i saw on twitter. sucks because twitter was a really good place to post art especially if you liked chatting with people. the other sites feel like you're putting out a press release or an advert or something

See there's the rub, I mostly do NSFW which is pretty limited in where you can advertise that. Pretty sure Instagram you can't, and Tumblr I remember the whole ban on it, don't know where that's at these days.
