    It always seemed like shouting in a room full of people. Any coherent thought instantly became an unreadable mess due to the post character limit. Never understood live-tweeting. You could DM some company’s support person… but why?

    And I blame link shorteners’ existence on twitter, too.

      For some people it kind of seems like just shouting at an empty room. I recently found a (now ex)friend’s Bluesky, which opened a whole can of worms.

      But his whole thing was basically complaining about whatever he could with no one listening. Then complaining that no one was interacting.

      It was like the equivalent of him having a stage in an empty room and just yelling about random shit. Then yelling that there’s no one else in the room. I don’t get it

      To be fair, I think the company’s support person one is the only thing it was useful for. I’ve heard plenty a story of someone not being able to get proper support through the main thing they’re using, but once they tweet the company it gets fixed. Definitely shouldn’t be like that, but it is what it is.
