nerakroseI’m not planning to jump twitter ship just yet, and if twitter does go down I’m not looking for an alternative service to replace it with, I’ll just stick to the ones I’ve already got: tumblr, dw, Instagram, Facebook. (And discord I suppose, but I don’t count discord as a social media - it’s a chat service, and it’s ‘closed’. You can’t browse discord to find fun servers to join, you need to be invited, and that happens *outside* discord. It’s a whole rant I won’t get into details here but it bothers me how much I’m seeing “just join discord” as a solution to twitter: it doesn’t work that way.)
I see lots of talk about cohost as the new twitter option and I just wanted to flag this thread (on twitter) from a dreamwidth co-founder about how terrible the TOS is - I was vaguely considering signing up for cohost but when I went to the website was put off by not being able to see any posts at all without an account (same misgiving I had with pillowfort which tbh I’m going to go and delete since I haven’t logged in in what’s likely years at this point), but anyway. uh, not going to sign up for cohost at all anymore. https://twitter.com/rahaeli/status/1588764577650692096
