        Seriously. Elon Musk is power tripping to make all of us say his new branding.

        And also an idiot for getting rid of the Twitter name and bird, which most companies would kill for to have that sort of household name recognition.

    Oof, the article goes on to say all the platforms failed. X just failed a bit more.

    This is going to lead to some “well, they’re all about the same.” discourse shenanigans.

    Twitter has never been great, just easy to use and widely adopted. It’s gotten worse under Musk and mostly appeals to the worst people left on the platform.

      It had its moments. Back in the day I had all the libraries and park feeds in my area on it. Could just plan out my week with my kids in one spot. Yes I tried using a RSS reader but the websites weren’t as updated as the Twitter feeds were.

      That would require that it be a social media platform, as supposed to a money laundering front.

        As long as the users are there and active, it’s a social media platform, too.

      Truth Social is just a way to get money to Trump. Scam/money laundering/bribing. With max a few million/year in revenue I wouldn’t compare it to actual social media apps.

        It’s got a pretty large and active userbase though. I’d call that social media.

    Meanwhile, Tumblr is (or was?) incredibly queer back when I used it. Where’s the love?

    Reddit should have got a mention, but you know who really wins? Good ol’ Lemmy-- LGBTQ (especially T) representing here. Although that’s cheating cause we have blahaj, haha (not like the Fediverse will ever get mentioned, lol)
