Brian Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 This probably results me in posting less because copying a tweet to start a new thread about games is pretty easy and doesn’t take too much time to do. I am interested to see how a tweet heavy forum adapts to the ban. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Here. It is mostly a joke but https://www.reddit.com/r/BaconsLoophole/ Edit: While I expect no one to ever use this including myself, this is for videos and gaming only. No political text based twitter links cuz that is cringe. I've never liked going into a thread and seeing Jason posting three twitter links in a row about some shit I ain't gonna read.

If anything, that was my fault for allowing that to happen in the first place. What I hope happens is that people start engaging with each other more often just like we did in the "old days". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with Meta, Instagram and all the other social networking sites who's negatives outweigh their positives in my opinion. My stance as well essentially. I'm pretty much thoroughly anti social media in general at this point I admit. The less the better as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Never liked Twitter... don't even use it. It's been a cesspool for years, but the idea that now it's banned because it might not be the cesspool you prefer is kinda sus... just sayin'. But.. it's your platform. Do what you want. I'd personally prefer to not have to click to Twitter to watch an embedded video to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and if this relatively mild restriction is what causes people to post elsewhere, then they probably weren't all that committed to engaging with this community to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not deny that there is absolutely some degree of hypocrisy on my part involved, and I make no apologies for that whatsoever. At the same time, there is a substantive difference between a cesspool that is a publicly-owned entity that has some degree of accountability to its shareholders and therefore has some guardrails (as flimsy as they might have been) in order to protect investor value and a cesspool that is a privately-owned entity subject to the whims of one very powerful, very rich man.

AbsolutSurgen Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Twitter never had any guard rails. Given you’re spending your own money on this site, with no attempt at commercialization, you don’t need to justify yourself to anyone.

ThreePi Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 In 6 months there's going to be a half dozen Twitter alternatives and in a year or so one of them will probably be viable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I'm all for it. Too many threads on here end up just being a bunch of people posting tweets and not actually engaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwheel86 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I was in favor of the no shit head idea discussed before, but given that verified users have to pay for their verification, I support these changes. The number of fake accounts is about to skyrocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll just hemorrhage users if his edicts cause enough friction. User engagement is ultimately what every social media platform has to answer to. Playing devil's advocate... If Reddit teaches us anything, we're more prone to handwave cesspools when they're managed by collectives and hiveminds. People like Musk and Zuckerberg being the face of their shitholes causes more people to question them and pressure change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 18 hours ago, AbsolutSurgen said: Your site your rules. So much sporting/gaming news is posted on Twitter these days, that Twitter as a primary source is hard to avoid. Anyone know of any good free image hosting sites? I love Imgur and will toss my opinion in with others who like that. Also agree with @ThreePi. At least I really do feel that people who enjoy Twitter's setup for news will set up an alternative. Either that, or currently existing social media sites will try to adopt is as a way to use theirs (if possible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 So there's this gaming news post I'd like to share.

Bacon Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I do wonder if tweeter really is doomed. As someone who doesn't really care about topics outside of his own personal life, I thought this was a bunch of nothing. This being Musk x Twitter. I am surprised how many people are, for now, abandoning the platform for something I only perceive as totally insignificant for the vast majority of users. Of course, the vast majority really don't care and it is only very specific people that do, but even the amount of these specific people is not something I expected. I wonder if, by the end of this year, D1P will be hosting embeds of a twitter remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I’m loving how the screenshotting of tweets has replaced embedding them and only served to make a worse experience where one can’t easily verify if the tweet is even real.
