    I just… I could never comprehend twitter (or Mastadon, or bluesky for that matter).

    The whole structure of the conversation feel like people shouting into an open auditorium. And everyone is shouting at once.

    I just do not see the appeal.

      Me too. Tried twitter way back in the early days of it. Never found it useful. Others did though obviously, which I don’t understand, but they did. What I find interesting is the seeming need to replace it with something similar. Why? Is it like gradually kicking an addiction by switching to something slightly less bad, but not going full cold turkey?

        Oh yeah. Why? Yeah… yeah I could never imagine leaving one toxic social media and then trying to find a similar replacement…
