Must admit I'm terrible at twitter which prob feeds my disdain more than anything else apart from twitter users

it's the novelty factor
people want to see what happens when they push a heart, maybe something "new"/different happens
wait a few months and check out the stats then

generally kind of annoying when you follow someone to read posts about their area of expertise but then have to subscribe to idle thoughts about their interests

i said something a while back about the decline in use of the wdyll threads being a good indicator of the drift from ilx to social media and just noticed there is no november thread. boyz ii men getting ready to sing

some people are on zing instead of the site, I'm not sure if those stats are counted?

Plenty of ilx on twitter iirc

imo ilx still feels more like one of the better methods for the same ~150 people to keep talking to each other but that's kinda all it is at this point. we are definitely in metafilter land now, there has been basically no new blood for years, the 'young people' here are all in their late 20s and the 45 y/os are just busier w/ lyfe / kids / painting their garage.

i'm taking another break from twitter and have just kinda ended up rechanneling that attention into ilx and tumblr, two (relatively) dead places
hope twitter dies soon too

lot of ppl seem p convinced this is happening but idk
― lag∞n, Friday, 20 November 2015 15:52 (eight years ago) link
i think those perspectives mainly focus on the business end of twitter. i personally don't see it dying soon but it really shifted in 2012-2013 from a kind of cool and fascinating thing where ppl were really funny and i felt less alone (lol) to a site of unbelievable anxiety, which has gotten way worse in the past two years, even as i followed as few ppl as possible
― insufficiently familiar with xgau's work to comment intelligently (BradNelson), Friday, 20 November 2015 15:56 (eight years ago) link
i mean, my own fault for being embedded in both media and music twitter
twitter def used to be more fun and funny before ppl decided it was a srs platform for expanding ones brand
