Elon paywalled Tweet Deck.

Why are people still on there? Twitter has been sold; the old management is never coming back. X is, almost explicitly at this point, a platform meant for crypto scammers and white supremacists, and that is not going to change. If you aren't part of or adjacent to those groups, fucking leave it.

I deleted two weeks ago. I hadn't tweeted in years but I used it to read other people, but I'm done.

I'm hanging on until I get a BlueSky invite. I think a lot of people are doing the same.

There are a lot of informative artists and educators that are otherwise scattered to the four winds (or worse, only on Facebook/TikTok/Instagram). I've learned a lot from people posting about field work they're actively doing, people certified to do all kinds of jobs I'd never otherwise get to hear from, etc. There's not as many as there used to be, but there's enough that I'd rather see what they have to say while I'm waiting for my Bluesky invite.

People just like to Twitterbate. Can't say I get it, but then again I don't like to be pooped on during sex either. Different strokes, I guess.

Niche communities that took years to built up and that I can't find anywhere else. For example Esperanto speakers are quite active on Twitter. They also have their own Mastodon instance, but it is not the same. (I use both now)

No algo is the big one for me. Don't have to worry about that with Mastodon. And the advanced interface of Mastodon is also pretty nice.

I've never used TweetDeck but there is the Control Panel for Twitter, which makes it usable. It can auto-block all the bluechecks with under a million followers, hide the "For You" tab, block ads, and restore the old Twitter branding.

Unfortunately the main reason I use Twitter is not the platform itself, but the public figures that are on it. Mastodon (mostly) doesn't have that, though there is a trickle of some coming over.

I used regular lists on Twitter till I stopped using it a few months ago. No ads, chronological order. It was good

But people I followed, I started seeing only replies from shitstain bluetlickers so I dropped it for good

It was a very popular 3rd party Twitter client that Twitter actually bought way back when.

A desktop Twitter client, meant for power and business users. You could have multiple accounts open at the same time, search for mentions, etc.

Good old methylenedioxymethamphetamine, where science said “why not” instead of “why” and took methamphetamine and then tweaked it to also dump hella serotonin on top of already having amphetamine properties of stimulating dopamine, norepinephrine, androgens. It’s no wonder people who abuse it can get seriously depressed from burning out literally every pleasure and stimulation neurotransmitter humans have all with one drug. Ain’t your granny’s pep pills

Certain substances can change your life from a single "trip"

With MDMA the promise and peril is... absolutely no interpersonal walls AT ALL. No masks and no fear. Be careful who you trip with.

If he means being on X as in the party drug, and being back in his days i think he means the drugs (x=Ecstasy) were more fun than that shit post paradise that is robbing the the porno and hamster industries favorite letter, then I agree wholeheartedly.

Or he just means was on xhamster, or xporn or so forth, still agree.

Now, back to today's X

Meh, I'm not one for hot takes and gotchas. To me the whole concept of deliberately short, unnuanced posts from everyone and their mom always seemed quite problematic, and I think my instinct on that was correct given what we've seen Twitter become over the past decade especially.
