As the anniversary of the Twitter Wave of 2018 approaches I’m pouring one out for the ones who slunk back to twitter to talk about *checks* politicians and the same bigoted twitter personalities that they’ve been complaining about for the past six years
@roxxers I joined it in 2007 I think? At the beginning it wasn’t so bad but it descended into the screaming matches and cliques and bigotry-enabling that you see today, I guess because the people running it realised that’s what gets the most attention. The fedi is definitely a lot better for my mental health
@dreadpirateyarr my name is Andy and I haven’t been on Twitter for 5 days 😂 TA
@NotMyMini did you flee for masto recently
I regard Twitter robo-crossposts as the 'net equivalent of people dumping their trash on my lawn. Alas, I couldn't call the Fedi cops on principle even if they existed.
@xenophora I don’t even like seeing people linking to twitter posts, with that ‘🐦🔗’ symbol
I'm trying to cut back. :D

Aaaand just noticed one of the more productive doxxers of Fash over there is excited about Kathy Griffin's "activism." All I can say is, "Buddy, I think you're about to lose the plot, big time." :(
Woman's an obnoxious, Left-punching attention junkie who's been incredibly nasty to her purported social lessers before. Plus neither she nor any other Tinseltown nitwit has ever owned their part in elevating Trump in the first place. Ugh.

Give it 8 months and "anti-fascism" will be strictly limited to getting out votes for goddamn Biden and buying tickets to Griffin's shitty shows.
🙄
Fuck Twitter.

@xenophora happy to report that I don’t know who Kathy Griffin is, but yeah. Twitter seems to make everyone jump the shark eventually

You're better off. :/
Since I deleted my account two years ago & wasn't ever a big wheel there anyway, I can only hope someone steps in and explains to this guy what *radical chic* was 40-50 years ago.
@dreadpirateyarr my favorite is the people who were like "this social network doesn't have any of the qualities that make the other ones terrible. i'm LEAVING"
@vegetablegremlin ‘where are all the celebrities? How am I supposed to become an #influencer?’
@dreadpirateyarr all those losers hanging out and making friends and not landing book deals
@dreadpirateyarr I won't ever understand cause I never even got twitter when I was on it. I was very hesitant to join this cause I didn't get twitter. Turns out this has a very different appeal of actually being a nice community thing. Not some weird platform where you shout into the void for no reason. Fedi has a nice village atmosphere but without any of the bigotry.
