        Still won’t stop the others from going and keeping the restaurant afloat. I ditched my account (even though i rarely used it) right around the time it was changing hands. So now I don’t use it but there’s little i can do to convince millions of people who either don’t care or actually admire twats like Leon. There’s a lot of people out there not giving 2 shits about any of this stuff, or just can’t be bothered to change their habits even slightly.

        I don’t see Twitter going anywhere, it’s a new more-mainstream parler i guess? Conservatives need a public space that’s more visible and now they have it. They want to be public about their shittiness, they’re tired of hiding their racism/misogyny/homophobia/etc

      Unpopular opinion (at least in the Fediverse): while mastodon exists and is nice (if a little harder to grasp), Threads actually has a sufficient user base to be considered a substitute for Xitter. I was watching it during the debates and there was lively enough conversation to be interesting and still unable to read every comment that tagged the debate in real time.

      Down with centralized social media and all that, but just a suggestion if you miss the volume of posts and the centralized interface that Xitter dumps out.

      Drag would like to introduce you to a wonderful website called Mastodon. https://mastodon.social

      Drag respects the fact that Mastodon exists, but drag also doesn’t use it because the Twitter format is very boring. Drag tried using Twitter before Musk bought it, and it was no fun at all. Drag was just screaming into the void.
