u/LastTangoOfDemocracy 2d ago

Why would you even still be there?

u/marveloustoebeans 2d ago

Porn. Literally everyone I know who still uses Xitter does it for the OF models they follow who post nudes.

u/AGoldenGoblin 2d ago

I just stick to good ole' reddit for that.

u/daphnemoonpie 2d ago

Right? I have all the porn I need right here. Fuck X. Come on y'all.

Unless, ya know, you're into that kind of thing, then cum on

u/Kimye-Northweast 2d ago

Reddit porn sort of reminds me of the 90’s/early 2000’s where you could only get porn through unsavory magazines. There’s just pictures, and when there are videos, there’s usually no sound. The benefit of Reddit porn subs are how highly specific they are. With Twitter you can keep scrolling until you’re… finished.

16

u/Cornered-V 2d ago

There's actually usually sound since more often than posts are redgif (I hate this site with my soul) links. You need to click on the part of the post that says "redgifs" and it'll redirect you there and there'll be audio

u/Kimye-Northweast 2d ago

Right, or I could get on Twitter and just… scroll, lol. The moment I have time to think about what I’m seeing, I start to feel disgusting. So I sort of just need that continuous feed that I used to get from tumblr. Unfortunately, Twitter was the next best thing for a long time.

u/Cornered-V 2d ago

Losing Tumblr was like the burning of the Library of Alexandria when it comes to porn. There were DECADES worth of porn that'll never be found anymore...

A lot of the time, there is sound, but it won't play on the mobile app.

u/Nevermore_Novelist 1d ago

There's porn on Reddit?

21

u/wet-dreaming 2d ago

they want to paywall the porn post on reddit too

32

u/Big-Island 2d ago

Like, it's the internet. There's porn almost everywhere. Why anyone needs the one site owned and operated by a Nazi to watch OF models- not even on their own platform smh- I don't get it. And even, ya, we're already here on reddit now! We're already on the platform that has porn AND OF models. It just don't make sense...

GOONER ALERT GOONER ALERT GOONER ALERT GOONER ALERT GOONER ALERT GOONER ALERT

u/brando56894 2d ago

Yeah, that's like 70% of what the XXX side of Reddit is anymore.

1

u/MrCookie2099 2d ago

I can download the images with Reddit.

40

u/SolidusAbe 2d ago

also stupid gimmick accounts and animals

never used twitter for anything else

4

u/brando56894 2d ago

There's not enough animal subs on Reddit for you? lol

24

u/Neither-Western_ 2d ago

Reddit works for that too

2

u/kungfungus 2d ago

Dude, that is pathetic.

u/STRIKER9001 1d ago

I do it for the anime and hentai art, actually 🤓

1

u/newmacbookpro 2d ago

I thought it was to follow great journalists and get informed real time about world events!

1

u/m00nf1r3 2d ago

That was the only reason my ex used it... lol.

u/zoinkability 2d ago

I guess the name change was meaningful after all

u/Hi_Trans_Im_Dad 1d ago

But, you can get all that here...

u/Thriftyverse 1d ago

They should request they jump to bluesky.

u/Sablemint PURPLE 1d ago

There's also a ton of furry porn there.

u/Responsible-Card3756 2d ago

This is embarrassing.

u/Alive-Clothes-3898 2d ago

that says a lot more about the people you associate with than people in general. Normal people use x for news...

0

u/Neon_Camouflage 1d ago

Normal people don't purity test one another's purposes for scrolling twitter.

-5

u/Alive-Clothes-3898 1d ago

Normal people aren't porn-addicted degenerates

1

u/Neon_Camouflage 1d ago

If your basis for "porn-addict degenerate" is having a preferred site for porn, then you're extremely mistaken lmao.

u/Alive-Clothes-3898 1d ago

like most intellectually dishonest people do, you're putting words in other peoples mouth

u/The-Gorge 2d ago edited 2d ago

The best independent journalists are also still on twitter so it remains a fundamental tool for vetted news.

EDIT: Y'all can be mad at this statement, but as of this moment it's the truth. No other platform has all the journalists all in one place, and no other platform currently is as supported as twitter is. There are better platforms in some ways, but they aren't a replacement yet for most people.

It is what it is. 🤷

7

u/Exact-Error-9382 2d ago

I have found most if not all of the journalists I like moved to Bluesky. Prefer that platform tbh.

2

u/The-Gorge 2d ago

I'm sure bluesky is great.

A lot of journalists are on a lot of platforms. I use a variety of platforms myself, including rumble which provides censorship free media.

Twitter still remains the most versatile and widely used. Most journalists I follow are not on bluesky. I'm glad bluesky and rumble and other independent outlets exist, and hopefully they can replace twitter, but as of today, twitter is still generally better due to its support.

3

u/Responsible-Card3756 2d ago

This is false. “Independent” journalists will be on every platform.

There is no excuse to line Musk’s pocket. Period.

0

u/The-Gorge 2d ago

I mean that's your purogative, but I'm still right. While there are other platforms and ones with less censorship, twitter is still the best option for getting legitimate news quickly on any device from vetted journalists. 🤷‍♂️

You can take a stand all you want, other platforms lack the support and popularity to be as useful right now.

u/HilariousMax 2d ago

addiction is hard, brother. I'm working on it though. Staying strong.

u/gethereddout 2d ago

Bluesky!!!

u/Icy-Cup 2d ago

Also echo chamber only difference it’s politically progressive.

7

u/WebMaka 2d ago

One thing social media has proven is that by using algorithms that encourage visitors to extend their time on a site by constantly pushing them more of what they apparently want to engage with based on what they've engaged with thus far, any visitor can create a self-reinforcing echo chamber almost automagically and with no effort required on anyone's part.

“What Orwell failed to predict is that we'd buy the cameras ourselves, and that our biggest fear would be that nobody was watching.” ― Keith Lowell Jensen

u/gethereddout 2d ago

One is owned by a Na**! Big difference

u/LastTangoOfDemocracy 2d ago

You can say Nazi.

u/gethereddout 2d ago

Maybe you can. My account got a warning recently

u/End_Capitalism 2d ago

Reddit is owned by a Nazi, too.

If you really want to see buttholes, you don't have to use the shithole of the internet to see it, there are far more venues out there that are far better.

2

u/Bootsnatch 2d ago

Right? Lmao I had a Twitter account to sign up for giveaways and shit and that's it. I can't even imagine how shit it is now from what I've heard. I think I posted once on that shitass website.

2

u/TopRamenForDays 2d ago

The right needs their news source obviously.

4

u/madmax0418007 2d ago

Unfortunately still the best place to get updates for sports and movie stuff

3

u/TeaBagHunter 2d ago

And politics. In Lebanon during the war when their target wasn't a person the IDF used twitter to warn us about airstrikes, so nearly everyone had to use it

1

u/Saraq_the_noob 2d ago

Some days it feels good to get my blood pressure up.

1

u/Talescia 1d ago

To get my favorite artists bsky links?

1

u/Mugwumpjizzum1 1d ago

Personally it's only because of sports that I'm still on there. My fave college team and sites aren't on Bluesky yet.

1

u/RespondVisible6532 1d ago

I left Twitter over a year ago

46

u/LongfellowSledgecock 2d ago

I would bet that if you closed the app and reopened it it will refresh.

Forcing people to open and close the app 176 times a day and then this StankMusk mfer will claim usage is going up based on how many times a day the app is opened.

Just my first thought.

83

u/unimpressivepp 2d ago

Wow, finally someone says thank you.

58

u/Rahm420 2d ago

But we’re they wearing a suit when they thanked him?

3

u/OhDavidMyNacho 2d ago

That's what made it easy to give up on dating apps. I'm not paying to play that numbers game.

Kinda hope reddit does that too, so I don't have to practice self-control.

2

u/oldandgrouchy 2d ago

Wait till he buys reddit.

2

u/RaptorOO7 1d ago

Fortunately I deleted my twitter accounts and spend time on Reddit instead. Until they paywall this then I’m gone.

1

u/PestiferousOpinion 2d ago

but in the other side those who do spend will doom scroll even more, now that they’ve paid for it, just to make the most value of their subscription

0

u/XxViper87xX 2d ago

Less time in an open forum and more in a leftist echo chamber... Sounds healthy. 🤡

3

u/HilariousMax 2d ago

I'd wager you spend more time in echo chambers than I do but I'd also wager that I spend less time judging people.

and if spending less time talking to fascists makes me a clown then I'll gladly wear the red nose. My grandfather didn't fight a war against clowns.

u/Downtown_Book_6848 1d ago

…..says the guy on Reddit 😅 if Magats were smart, you all would actually be dangerous

u/GPS_07 2d ago

Plus community notes if those count

229

u/UnseenJellyfish 2d ago

Community notes existed before Elon bought twitter

164

u/squeakynickles 2d ago

Those existed way before it became X, and he actually removed them for a bit after he took over

1

u/Time-Theme8985 2d ago

And they're going to fucking subscribe so they can doomscroll more. I know it.

1

u/AccomplishedIgit 1d ago

Kind of wish he’d buy Reddit next
