I have been on the edge with twitter and reddit for a while and I have finally deleted my accounts that I have had for a very long time there. They are no longer the places I used to know, even more so with twitter. I am ready for my new time here and on mastodon.

Twitter has seriously turned into a right wing cess pool. :( 😞

Can't even watch porn on there anymore. LOL

I was watching one of my favorite gay porn stars and swiped up foe the next video and it was this couple that had like 45 guns strapped to them out shooting printed out faces of Democrat politicians.

Talk about a damn boner killer.

Also, the only comments that show up are right wing nut jobs as well. Idk what the hell is going on there.

I learned the best way to avoid all the lunatics is to block anyone with a Blue Checkmark. There are block list's for that to I think, though I was doing it manually.

What is really terrible is that, Twitter is considered mainstream social media alongside Instagram here in Japan. So even the normies ends up stepping into that right wing cesspool. I was really shocked to see my normie ex friend retweeting transphobic shit😿😿

While I really really hate Twitter, and tend to be more on Instagram, Losing Twitter means losing the single biggest information source for the majority that can’t read English. Even I sometimes have to open Twitter to see wtf is going on in the society (also it’s useful to get the most up to date information during emergency situations, like earthquake)

I saw the impact of them siloing their user base yesterday when a trade was made for one of my sports teams. The news broke on Twitter and I heard about it on a local radio show. I tried to find it in the news but I couldn't. I don't use Twitter so I wasn't able to see any info on the trade for another 2 hours until local news and other services started to confirm and replicate the Twitter post.

It's incredibly short sighted of them to do this.
