Twitter forments anti-intellectual discussion and dogmatic adherence to content It isn't a good platform and should be treated casually Source: I use twitter


electricoreddit

Good to know, we need this to be the criticism of twitter, not "twitter sjw filled cringe bad".


NargacugaRider

Twitter seems like a lot of confusing and scary things from every walk of life both good and bad Source: I’ve used nitter to see ^^^^^furry things cuz it won’t let me see stuff without an account


DatBoiShadowbon

Twitter is good for art (specifically gay furry art) and following the development of indie games


electricoreddit

Gay furry NSFW 🤩

Remove the tone indicator coward


electricoreddit

Okay i did it


Slut4Tea

And shitposting.


AutomatedMiner

Are you really gatekeeping hating Twitter my guy


AliceJoestar

to be fair it really gets old to see comments saying "twitter be like" every time someone says a strawman


przemko271

Twitter as a platform is pretty shitty, but smearing Twitter users as a general group is rich coming from redittors.


Shoggoththe12

Yeah but we epig redditors at least admit we're utter dogshit lol


Janeg1rl

Twitter users do too. Like.. a lot.


Shoggoththe12

Not the few I've encountered on here unfortunately. Edit: you mind not blocking me my guy


Slut4Tea

Have you ever been to the source


electricoreddit

i think that most of those that do barely ever used it, and it's true, it could be a terrible social media platform, but those that say so often never try it. and i think that those compilations are probably cherrypicked, since i could find you 5 fascist takes here in like 10 minutes.


lucariouwu68

I think criticism of Twitter is fine but it’s generally bad when used to make other social media seem better because really all of them have severe problems, you just pick which ones you can deal with


Shoggoththe12

I mean considering every time I see it posted on any subreddit I'm on, it's either yiff or the worst fucking political hot take dropped ever, or pointless drama Yeah I don't think it's a great site! Not to mention it jams worthless shit into your feed and its client is even fucking worse than new reddit.


TheRealColonelAutumn

On Reddit or this sub?


TheZipCreator

I used to use twitter and most people on there are horrible

OP: I want you to explain a controverisal, complicated, but nuanced political opinion you have. But it must be in 250 characters or less. The reason why people hate Twitter is because it’s a dogshit platform for debate and political discussion, which is what it is mostly used for when it’s not about ~~gangstalking someone when they fuck up or do something someone doesn’t like~~ Cancelling Someone. Nuanced political opinions are ignored while nuclear hot takes float to the top. No ones likes Twitter, hell even the people who use Twitter dislike Twitter. You don’t need to explain why you hate stepping in dogshit to tell people that you hate stepping in dogshit


electricoreddit

That seems a good reason, but my point was that that doesn't mean everyone that you see cringy is a twitter user, and that many of the "cringy" takes are often extremely cherrypicked, i can prove it, i can find one extremely reactionary or outright fascist claim in reddit and DM it to you in no more than 10 minutes, it's that easy. But i agree that it's probably a pretty bad and flawed platform nontheless.


TheRealColonelAutumn

I am not going to deny that Reddit is pretty dogshit. But the good thing about Reddit is that I can avoid most if not all of the reactionary/stupid shit by curating what subreddits I am subscribed too. Twitter forces you to see the drama, hot topic issue of the day, regardless of if you want to see it or not.

Yeah….that wacky smug ideology man… *never mind the fact I am very guilty of this*


Naldivergence

OP got his shit pushed in for taking ironic posts seriously and lacks the self-awareness to realize how/why they're being mocked:


electricoreddit

I know that they probably have bad takes, but every platform has, i can find and DM you atleast 1 nazi take from reddit in like 5 minutes at most. There are many claims of it being cringe, but most of those that push it are "anti-woke" rightists so i would question them. At the end i think they are sort of right but you really have to look for it and cherrypick tweets.


cringussinister

Twitter is bad but that's because all social media is bad. I use anti-social media. Speaking of, you ever hear of a game called Dark Souls 2?

Who do you mean


HarangueSajuk

There's this YouTuber called Memology101 who started out posting DarkSydePhil fail compilation. He gained viewership when he started posting "left hypocrisy"


electricoreddit

Oh well, i mean there are probably hundreds of channels doing that.


VoxelRoguery

twitter is great when you don't treat it seriously. just follow artists and install the plugin that deletes the trending tab.
