Inb4 fifty comments all saying "I'm not on twitter/x."

Hey, I'm not either, but we aren't who this thread is for, please and thank you

Please upvote this so people see it and think before making a shitty throwaway comment that adds absolutely zero to discussion.

Edit: fucking called it

Jokes on you, I'm not in this thread

[-] li10@lemmy.ml 31 points 11 months ago

I like how those people didn’t appreciate you taking away their circlejerk opportunity, so just downvoted you instead 😂

I swear half of Lemmy is just people talking about how they don’t use Twitter or Reddit.

[-] dfyx@lemmy.helios42.de 12 points 11 months ago

I feel like my comment is the only one that even attempts to answer the question.

Pretty predictable though. Lemmy is even less mainstream than Mastodon so I would expect most people here to be way outside mainstream social media's target audience.

One third Trekkies, one third talking about how shit twitter and Reddit are, one third content.

This... Also, what a loaded and opinionated question. It implies that you shouldn't be on X because of Elon Musk, if OP was genuinely curious about why someone uses X, they could have asked a neutral question: "Are you using X? Why or why not?" or "If you are using X, why and how?". This currently just reflects the OP's opinion for validation I guess?

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 11 months ago
  1. Its 2024 and this isn't an unpopular opinion that OP holds

  2. Its AskLemmy, not a fucking serious news organization or something. Who cares if its loaded and opinionated? Validate OP's opinion away!

Similarly to Snot Flickerman, I also believe that this thread will be filled with comments about not being on twitter, as that seems to be a common demographic of lemmy.

And also similarly to Snot Flickerman, I'll make use of this opportunity to become the very thing I resent in this thread by mentioning that I'm also not on twitter.

Ah I see the pedantic asses are out in force today!

Much like the "I'm not on twitter" folks, you're not nearly as clever or original as you think you are! Ta-ta!

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world -4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Then why didn’t OP say “For those of you still on X/Twitter, “?

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

because it's clearly implied by the title and they said as much elsewhere in the comments

but don't let that get in the way of you being a pedantic ass

[-] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 11 months ago

The way I read it was "of course you use Twitter, everyone does" as is the general assumption.

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago

I mean, you’re the one who actually commented saying you’re not on it. Admittedly, you did say that it was a shitty comment right after making it.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Good job on taking my advice and keep staying pedantic!

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Your advice isn’t directed at me, because I’m on Twitter. Look, I agree with you that those comments are shitty, but OP should know that if you ask shitty questions, you’ll get shitty answers.

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Lmao you don't know what pedantic means, do you? woooooosh
