If I were to make a graph of the amount of time I spent on Twitter, it would have started at the founding of that service, peeked in 2015, gradually declined until 2019 and then plumuted.

As NASDAQ noted, Twitter isn't really profitable.  And how can it be? How can you base your business on something that might suspend your account based on the opinions of its far, far left employees? 

Satire site, Babylon Bee, was recently banned for making a satirical post about public figure, Rachel Levine, the trasngender assistant secretary of health.  Making death threats against conservatives is rarely punished.  President Trump's Twitter account is gone while Kathy Griffin, who famously called for violence against President Trump remains.

How can anyone seriously look at Twitter as a viable platform when the rules are always in motion and enforced so capriciously?  

It's only a matter of time before Twitter is gone.  And I suspect the world will be better for it.

I hardly ever spend any time on Twitter anymore. I only visit on rare occasions to check a  few streamers & Blizzard updates. The same goes for Facebook. If it hadn't been for work related posts in closed groups and some family, I would gladly leave FB behind. I have my online socializing covered here in the Forums & on quite a few music related sites.

No thanks.

The only value of Twitter for me was that it was a one stop shop for the absolute latest info.   It started out as a universal messaging app. Now it’s just a crippled forum.

I have received a fair amount of entertainment value from following certain Twitter accounts but have never had an account myself.  With those limited exceptions, it's pretty much a load of garbage.

Can't say I'm enough of a twit to tweet....

So Griffin posted a picture of her holding the head of Trump. Trump incited a bunch of morons to try and overthrow the government based on a bunch of lies he was spreading about losing the presidential election. Trump was president at the time. I think that's far worse than what Griffin did. Also 99% of what Trump posted on Twitter was lying about this and that.

I agree that the "woke" movement has gone too far and it is now alienating groups rather then bringing people closer together. Its intentions were good but it got lost in its movement.

I think people are starting to see this because more and more often the word "woke" is being used to insult certain brands rather then promote. Twitter is one of the brands that is "woke"

Maybe twitter will last, myspace is still going.

Maybe that's because right-wing postings are 95 % fake-news and lies. Why should any decent platform tolerate that? If You want that, You should stay with facebook.

Facebook is actually starting to decline as well, the social media that is on the rise is Instagram and tiktok. Neither of which I use that often, I must fall in the wrong age group.

For me I like the sturdiness of forums. Better communication for focused topics, less talk about dinner plates.

Twitter has always seeemed twitty.  I still remember when i most used the service was to following back and forth comments between certain actors that was entertaining but i think most famous people use it as an echo chamber and something to do when bored.  It wont be missed.

Too right mate forums have the power of communication they far out rank any other communication platform when it comes to proper online conversation.  For voice i consider Teamspeak as the best platform due to it having a proper server log and the configurability of codecs.
