  • Honestly I’m shocked at the number of people that stayed on twitter. Like… just why? It’s zero effort to leave and minimal effort to find another platform.

    I realize many people choose not to care who owns the companies that make their stuff. And to be fair, sometimes it’s actually worse to throw away the product than keep using it despite the associated image. I still daily drive my Tesla model 3 that I bought in 2019. Throwing away a car creates a shitload of waste, versus just continuing to drive it. I’d never buy another tesla, which solves that issue.

    But unlike throwing out a car or even throwing out something with actual value like youtube, ditching Twitter as far as I see has no downside.


  • At the risk of being condescending… don’t worry too much about it for now. I assume the reason you can’t switch is because your parents or someone else is paying for it and won’t allow your input. If that’s the case, when you get to the point of being able to pay for it yourself, you get to choose exactly what you want.

    Becoming self-sufficient is pretty wild, come to think of it. Also mildly traumatizing and occasionally terrifying, but mostly great. Need a new phone? You get whatever you want, if you can. Same with housing, transit, etc. If shit wasn’t so unbelievably expensive it’d be even better…
