Trump doesn’t need to go back to Twitter. His Truth shitposts are immediately posted on Twitter.

OTOH when Truth Social tanks he will be there.

I’ve been using nitter.net, kind of a front-end site for Twitter. Since there’s really only a few posters I want to check, it’s an easy way to have my account cancelled and not have that stupid login thing popup in my way.

3358

Anyone know what that tool is? It looks neat.

3359

Kanye West is back on Twitter too

This is one of those moments for the “well my Twitter hasn’t changed” people to check themselves and see what they want to support

3361

I didn’t quit the platform when Trump was on it before. I still feel guiltier about using Facebook than Twitter. If Twitter doesn’t implode and force my hand I’ll be off FB first. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3362

Would you have stayed in if Trump wasn’t banned after Jan 6?

3363

Extremely weird

3364

Probably, I never seriously considered leaving then either.

I have a lot of strong negative feelings about Trump, but sharing such a broad platform with him, and one with so many controls to limit my exposure to his nonsense there, never made me seriously consider quitting Twitter just because he was allowed to be there too.

I think way beyond the pandering of Fox News and the like, the media across the board failed to hold him accountable and put more energy into riding the “controversy” for clicks and views. Internet, TV, print, etc. Not all to an equal degree, I’m not trying to say everyone was exactly as complicit, but it was a problem everywhere. I think Twitter should’ve banned him for TOS violations long before January 6.

But none of that pushed me to abandon the platform. I wouldn’t blame someone or say they’re stupid if it did drive them away, but I wasn’t convicted that me leaving was of meaningful benefit to myself or anyone else.

I don’t get ads, I don’t pay Twitter anything, I can use it without giving them anything but my email address. I am not really supporting anything.

3366

Wt actual f

3367

It’s a pretty common meme, I have seen it used for a bunch stuff.

3368

Trying to guilt people for not leaving a social media site is unfair and tricky. You can certainly guilt people into not signing up.

Many people have a lot of connections and friends tied into the system. Groups that have nothing to do with the nightmare that the service is becoming.

Being on the same platform as a terrible person isn’t support for that person.

3369

I’m familiar with the meme it’s just wild for him to post this when he’s trying to get Trump back on the platform. I’d say he has a humiliation kink but I think he’s just the world’s worst poster

3370

I guess he doesn’t surprise me. He’s a troll that gives no fucks.

3371

What if the platform is run by a terrible person?

3372

You don’t get served promoted posts?

3373

Third party apps don’t get ads or promoted tweets. Never have.

3374

Thanks, that’s useful.

3375

I don’t want to support Twitter and want it to go away because I don’t like the owner, but I still want to read it. Ok.

Us nobodies don’t matter. No one really cares if we have an account.
