To be fair, Twitter is also undermining Twitter’s livelihood.
I feel for those who have had Twitter be such a part of their income but the writing is on the wall for the platform and it’s time to start looking for alternatives. Xitter is going to be circling the drain soon if it isn’t already and there is nothing Muskrat will do to correct that.
True but that doesn’t really help them. A user can switch platforms trivially, but for a creator to carry over most of their following it takes a long time and constant insistence. I really feel for them too.
If you’re on Xitter, I don’t know what to tell you. Except, get off.
Has no one made the standard “how to move to Mastodon and take all your twitter followers with you” yet? If they have I havent’ seen it, but that’s the missing link here.
Mastodon is not a one to one replacement for Twitter and doesn’t intend to be. Mastodon is nothing like what many (or even most) people who use twitter want.
Mastodon has a lot of issues that it is still working out that make it a worse experience than pre-musk Twitter.
Here’s an idea:
STOP USING YOUTUBE.
Wrong platform buddy, this time it’s Twitter
Why?
This article is over a month old. Is the OF throttling even still happening?
Does using an URL shortener or similar link redirector avoid the problem?
