It’s kinda funny tbh. Seeing all those ppl complaining yet still staying there. Or better yet: “protesting” by putting content in which they complain, directly on those platforms. If Twitter does shit and u still use it, u show that the company that runs it can continue doin whatever it’s doin.
“But what’s the alternative?!”
Blogs, actually updating your own damn websites, RSS/atom, mastodon, email.
Take a look at the Berkshire Hathaway website if you think your website needs to be fancy. They made $300B last year and still have a Geiko ad and haven’t updated the style since like 1997.
You can even run a website for free with GitHub pages. You can host a website from. Google cloud store bucket. Portugal The Man’s website is a Google Sheet.
Just want to note that Berkshire Hathaway is a terrible example as they don't make their revenue off their site and have no need for it to be user friendly/inviting
To be fair they own geico insurance
Then again, doing a complaining comment in Twitter so Twitter users can see it, and then going to another service provider while trying to lead users from Twitter to use that other app...
ehhh, I don't see many folks typically caring about anyone's individual reasoning for complaining about or leaving $service.
maybe if it's part of a wave of reasoning like "leaving Twitter because of antisemitic content" or similar, it would have more reaching impact to the company.
Like years ago when youtube made a change that nobody liked and people posted Bob and the whole of Alice in Wonderland into the comment section of every Youtube video
