It's the NSFW Content. TBH.

The artists who draw the art/topics/proportions I'm into, and the IRL models with those proportions, don't exist on Mastodon. If they do I haven't found them. So Twitter still gets my horny clicks cause that content doesn't exist elsewhere.

victorz ,

Well now I'm curious what kind of proportions you talking. Got a sample?

Thanks for the honest reply 😅 That sure is a very specific type of body. Not my type but to each their own.

Here's hoping you'll meet someone like that IRL, bud! 🤞 All the best!

No worries; you asked a genuine question and got a genuine answer haha..
My wife is awesome and the best partner i could ever ask for, so I'm ahead of the game in that regard

victorz ,

Ah, great! She has those shapes too or nah? If so that's awesome for you.

Sports. I can get a hundred tweets of highlights almost instantly on Twitter.

Inb4 fifty comments all saying "I'm not on twitter/x."

Hey, I'm not either, but we aren't who this thread is for, please and thank you

Please upvote this so people see it and think before making a shitty throwaway comment that adds absolutely zero to discussion.

Edit: fucking called it

Mr_Blott ,

Jokes on you, I'm not in this thread

li10 ,

I like how those people didn’t appreciate you taking away their circlejerk opportunity, so just downvoted you instead 😂

I swear half of Lemmy is just people talking about how they don’t use Twitter or Reddit.

_MusicJunkie ,

One third Trekkies, one third talking about how shit twitter and Reddit are, one third content.

This... Also, what a loaded and opinionated question. It implies that you shouldn't be on X because of Elon Musk, if OP was genuinely curious about why someone uses X, they could have asked a neutral question: "Are you using X? Why or why not?" or "If you are using X, why and how?". This currently just reflects the OP's opinion for validation I guess?

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar
  1. Its 2024 and this isn't an unpopular opinion that OP holds

  2. Its AskLemmy, not a fucking serious news organization or something. Who cares if its loaded and opinionated? Validate OP's opinion away!

hperrin , (edited )

Then why didn’t OP say “For those of you still on X/Twitter, “?

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

because it's clearly implied by the title and they said as much elsewhere in the comments

but don't let that get in the way of you being a pedantic ass

hperrin ,

I mean, you’re the one who actually commented saying you’re not on it. Admittedly, you did say that it was a shitty comment right after making it.

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Good job on taking my advice and keep staying pedantic!

hperrin ,

Your advice isn’t directed at me, because I’m on Twitter. Look, I agree with you that those comments are shitty, but OP should know that if you ask shitty questions, you’ll get shitty answers.

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Lmao you don't know what pedantic means, do you? woooooosh

chicken ,

The way I read it was "of course you use Twitter, everyone does" as is the general assumption.

dQw4w9WgXcQ ,

Similarly to Snot Flickerman, I also believe that this thread will be filled with comments about not being on twitter, as that seems to be a common demographic of lemmy.

And also similarly to Snot Flickerman, I'll make use of this opportunity to become the very thing I resent in this thread by mentioning that I'm also not on twitter.

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Ah I see the pedantic asses are out in force today!

Much like the "I'm not on twitter" folks, you're not nearly as clever or original as you think you are! Ta-ta!

I never used X. I use Facebook

AVincentInSpace ,

That's... baffling, coming from a Lemmy user. Why are you okay with Mark Zuckerberg watching everything you interact with?

lil ,
@lil@lemy.lol avatar

I'm a bit of an exhibitionist and I'm glad that Mark is watching.

brlemworld ,

Porn. Also there's no ads usually around porn posts. So really it just costs them more

TwoCubed ,

Porn is everywhere though? I recommend noodlemagazine for free full porn videos. Or are you talking about amateur content? It's what I sort of miss from Reddit, but then again, most of it was just teasers for their shitty OF.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

I left Twitter exactly 24 days before it was rebranded to X. Let's just say I'm glad I made that move.

hperrin ,

The furry porn community is still licking their wounds over losing Tumblr, and a lot of the big artists just don’t want to have to rebuild their community for the second time, so that’s where they are. I don’t like that I have to go to such a cesspool, but damnit, that’s where the furry porn is.

cyborganism ,

Thank you for your honest answer.

KillingTimeItself ,

i feel like at this point, we could just build our own. It's not like we aren't capable lmao.

PopShark ,

Licking their wounds is an interesting choice of words here lol

hperrin ,

Chosen very much on purpose. ;)

ellabella ,

My entire fandoms are there.
Also twitter is ok if you follow the right people, you don't depend on the trending list and you dgaf about follower count.

littlecolt ,
@littlecolt@lemm.ee avatar

Thus pisses me off. The big fandoms and influencers could move. But all the people are on X. The users couldove, but all the fandoms and influencers are on X. It's a fucking loop where no one wants to make the first move

janabuggs ,

I used to spend my lunches watching videos on reddit's /r/videos and for yeeeeeeeears they would just post videos of influencers talking about how they're getting fucked by youtube. I rarely go to YouTube, I rarely use most social media I just wanted to waste my 5 to 10 minutes of eating a sandwich and watching a silly video or something, But I suddenly was very knowledgeable about all the stupid YouTube drama and it felt to me like the solution was to go somewhere else, in fact I got so fucking annoyed by these constant bitching about a garbage website that I stopped this lunch tradition entirely (But not before posting a long rant like an old man yelling at a cloud). However if there was an exodus that would also be admitting that these influencers would have to basically start over or hope their followers would follow them. They're tied to their income I guess. I find it pretty despicable but I think that's the reason. These people make a wild amount of money and it's hard to walk away from it out of principle (for them, cause they scared lil b-holes).

Chadus_Maximus ,

Because too few people link Nitter therefore I need to find usernames to plug in by going to Twitter. Don't have an account and never will.

@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

Because my city deems it is still a good idea to post important announcements about roadworks and water interruptions/boil advisory there exclusively :/

Orbituary ,
@Orbituary@lemmy.world avatar

You don't need an account to see those posts, right?

SnotFlickerman ,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

These days, you functionally do.

You can only view a single tweet at a time when not logged in, which can be a struggle if youre trying to just see updates in general and aren't seeking a specific post.

I know because I have a friend who still sends me links to make them useful I have to put them in Nitter.

mp3 ,
@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

To view a specific tweet you don't, but as soon as you want to see more tweets by that same account without a direct link you get to a login page.

Orbituary ,
@Orbituary@lemmy.world avatar

Wonder if there's a proxy tool to view an account and feed fully.

Overzeetop ,

With the small carve out exception of people who are fine with the antisocial behavior and management style of the owner, Inertia is the only reason. Governments, influencers, corporations- they all have a following and an established channel which involves minimum expense to maintain.

soviettaters ,

I'd say that the vast majority of people on Twitter couldn't care less about Elon Musk himself. However, Twitter is actually going downhill now and the only ads I see anymore are either hardcore porn or scams. That's what's going to drive people off Twitter.

xilliah ,
@xilliah@beehaw.org avatar

Ugh same here in the NL with WhatsApp. People act as if it's public infrastructure.

ellabella ,

I wish my city works like this. But noooo our local government uses FACEBOOK. ONLY. Twitter is still the lesser of two evils

If only more cities could provide a simple RSS feed..

There are a lot of friends which my only way to continue having contact is through it.

Also people can be pretty annoying on Mastodon (like many people in this thread as the top comment pointed out) and not a single one of said friends migrated to it

lemuria ,

Research. Many people I'm interested in still use Twitter. And I hate how Nitter instances globally have started to become rate limited or outright obliterated by Twitter API weirdness/

LemmyRefugee ,

Because I don’t care about how the owner of the service is.

Crack0n7uesday ,

I never used it even before he bought it.

UFOX and UFOTwitter hashtags. All other major social media are censoring the topic (including Reddit, which once was supposed to be open). Lately, Twitter started doing so too (it barely suggests ufo topics for me in the last month, even if that's the only reason I'm there), but the hashtags still work as expected. Unfortunately, on all the fediverse media, the topic is still laughed at (despite the various government admissions in the past year), and so there isn't any discussion about it. Twitter is where it's at, for that topic.

Edit: Proving my point, providing a truthful answer to the topic's question, and still been downvoted by the fediverse en mass.
