Which one?

Main thing for me was just getting updates from youtubers on when videos would drop and shit. Other appeal was just like “joke” accounts where the user would pretend to be a character or post OC of some kind. And there was some that just posted interesting shit like old ads or random “perfect” movie frames. The changes since Musk took over has basically killed those tho. And then there was just the whole appeal of microblogging where if you actually cared about what someone had to say about a movie or whatever or some random thought they had. So friends but also celebrities and stuff. It made sense. But now it’s just a very different sort of site. It’s a “content” site, everyone churning out “content” for “engagement”

Wait do they have notifications now?

The only real value for twitter-like apps for me is getting updates by individuals and organisations on when shit is happening. When the next video is gonna drop, when the next event is, other random news etc. Only reason I started using it in the first place.

Bluesky not having those features makes it pretty worthless. It’s also not a great feed to just kind of endlessly scroll through, twitter is better for that.

Lol, not really. Idiot conservatives will always ban shit for stupid reasons. Soviets banned stuff that was intentionally trying to stoke fascist uprisings in their country, which is what Orwell wanted.

Also using the term “critical thought” when praising animal farm is pretty ironic, lol

Is just an overhyped kid’s book, lol. Is exactly what it needs to be. I’m sure Seth is gonna be a bad ass Napoleon.

Idk I think leave this guy in the past. He’s a relic of the Cold War. We don’t need that propaganda anymore. There’s so many other, better dystopian fiction books out there that haven’t received their “definitive” adaptations, plus other more interesting original concepts people can do. Besides, maybe what people really need right now is people believing a better world is possible rather than accepting a crap one.

The bigger issue here is that they’re not giving us the material to be pirated.

Bet McAfee is still on there tho
