    I don’t understand why people don’t collectively quit Twitter and flock to Mastodon. It’s very simple, it’s better for everyone

      Because for the previous 15ish years before Musky got a hold of it it was actually decently regarded. Many people turned to it for up to date news and trusted it. It was a place where brands could interact with customers, celebrities with fans, etc. It had built up trust. People are having a hard time letting that go.

          Maybe you feel smart for dropping the name, but in reality those two have about zero things in common other than they both have some connection to space. Not personality, not their views, not their background have anything similar.

        All those things that made twitter “useful” were terrible, even if it was good at it.

      Even today there are top posts on Lemmy that are screen caps of Twitter. Not even Lemmy users can stop reading Twitter and upvoting. I down vote them on principle but it’s 100 to 1.

        Reddit and by extension Lemmy were designed to enable content aggregation. I dislike people having so few principles in general but the system is working as intended by users posting things they find interesting happening elsewhere.

        Here’s easy way to stop reading Twitter: not register there.

        Twitter itself hepled me to stop reading it when it regwalled all the posts.
