I kind of understand Reddit, but why do people hang in there with Twatter when there are currently three grown ass alternatives?
Heh, it took me a minute to think of a third one after Mastodon and Bluesky.
Totally forgot about Meta’s thing.
Meta’s thing is… still a thing?
And they’re sticking with that name? … huh
Smarter than me, I thought of Nostr
I think they are talking about Nostr because saying threads is better than twitter is like comparing a piece of shit with another piece of shit.
I mean Nostr is also a piece of shit but for different reasons, it’s basically 4chan but without any moderation at all.
Are you saying 4chan has moderation ?
Well maybe I wouldn’t necessarily call it moderation but it has a site admin that bans people and neighborhoods (IP ranges) for really nasty stuff (like child abuse material). Nostr doesn’t even have that though, some nodes may remove content, but most don’t, and people effectively can’t be banned.
a lot of people use it just because a lot of people use it…
This is called the “network effect,” so called after the Murderbot novel of the same name (recommended). It’s what makes social medias, aggregators, and service platform so “sticky.” It’s what makes platform-capitalism work.
It also makes nice things work too, ofc.
