this is so sad rip
3 comments

rip? its not dead, it just moved. the community just shifted to a platform that is _much_ more suited to the community’s needs.

- it’s open, in more ways than just the obvious. while twitter is narrowing in just about every direction you can think of.

- significantly higher signal that isn’t lost amongst a bunch of noise.

- relates to above, but kinda different: waay better quality of discourse. just much more pleasant.

- much more responsive and predictable admin. so so so many props to jerry.

definitely not a bad thing, it’s absolutely a step up and out.

They probably meant RIP Twitter, RIP what it once was and used to be capable of.
I'm really happy they moved to masto, their content just became much more accessible
Why? People leave an enshitified platform for less shitty pastures, and the audience can follow them.
