MiaVOn a number of levels I'm really quite saddened at the prospect of losing Twitter, but I don't want to say so over there because I don't want to give that man the satisfaction of "owning the libs". Which I guess he could never technically do on account of me not being "a lib" BUT STILL
Matt DeSienaAnd realistically the Twitter I'm sad about losing is a Twitter that hasn't really existed in years. I've been on there for over fourteen years and the change (I don't wanna just say "decline" but it kind of was) has been gradual but dramatic. I doubt it will go away completely any time soon, but there's no going back to its "best"
Socialsoprano@MiaV Yeah I totally know what you mean. There's no way I could meet my husband on Twitter as it is now compared to 11 years ago. I've still managed to make some great friends and the hurried attempts to keep them on various other platforms is a testament to that, something the Muskrat can never take away.
@Socialsoprano It's made me think about the long term creeping changes through a much clearer lens. Even things like posting a selfie over there feels a bit uncomfortable now. The "village square" atmosphere has long gone, it feels impersonal and cold. As you mentioned, harder to forge new connections with like-minded people.
