Honestly with how fast threads, brand new, was able to jump into this compared to the growth of mastodon, I'm convinced the only thing that can convince most people to stop using a corperate bloated social media site from hell is a new, slightly less bloated (so far) corperate social media site from hell.

Twitter won't die all the way until we have something else we want to die

People will never accept that part of the problem is themselves.

Hell, even I still use Twitter sometimes. I admit I am part of the problem. Other people won't at least try to be honest about it.

Then they complain. That just shows that they're not actually upset at the existence of sites like Twitter, they're just upset they're not the ones running them.

The vast majority of human beings in this country are so toxic.
