I specified the people I know. The only time Twitter comes up in any context is when they’re pissed off about something they saw on Twitter. For me personally, there’s no “content” on Twitter that I can’t get somewhere else without the added helpings of toxic racism, homophobia, misinformation and bullying. I have no use for it.
I mean of all the social media, Twitter is one of the best at serving you content based on what you interact with. If all you see is shit you hate, it’s entirely user error. My entire feed is memes and porn, because that’s all I bother with
I hear you, but It sounds like we’re nearly on the same page. Twitter is so full of useless garbage that I deleted my account, while you made an effort to completely curate your feed for a niche purpose, allowing only two kinds of content to get through.
Regardless, I don’t care to support Elon Musk’s efforts to turn the “internet town square” into a safe haven for wannabe nazis and homophobes. It’s becoming a playground for chuds and bullies, and now you can’t even block your abusers if you have them? No thank you, I’m full. I’d rather get my porn on Xhamster and my memes on Lemmy. I up voted you though because I appreciate the perspective and conversation.
I mean it’s not really an effort to curate my feed. I made an account, followed a bunch of accounts from artists I already liked, and from there, all I’ve done is follow more accounts based on content I find. I haven’t had to do any “curation” to achieve my feed. It’s just… There. It shows content based on what people interact with. For me, that’s porn and memes. For some people, it’s every random bit of political ragebait.
Why would I be happier if I stopped browsing content I enjoy? The math on that doesn’t really add up
