Discussion Leaving twitter/mainstream social media

Just some time ago I left twitter (well I was suspended :bap: actually)

I was now wondering what is your opinion on leaving or staying on twitter or other popular social media site.

I left mostly cause the whole thing was just getting too stressful and there was very little I could actually contribute there.

How about you why did you left. Alternatively why did you decide to stay?

Twitters dumb, the people are stupid, and I hate most people anyway.

I have my own sites and friends to seethe at, and don't need the entire internets approval.
Also i just never liked social media anyway. it's gay.

ps: if something on the internet (that isn't your job/connected to real life) starts stressing you out you should probably stop doing that
:flan-yea:

I use twitter less and less
nowadays I only use it for the illustrators I follow, however I haven't checked my notifications or anything for weeks now
I have no plans to quit for now, unfortunately pixiv is not the best option although I am using it more than twitter.

out of those two I only use varis services and interact with the comments of some websites I follow through Disqus.
I don't know much about disqus but at least you can set your account to private so no one can see your other comments or your account info, but they can react and reply to your comments in that site
this way you save yourself from having to interact with unnecessary external people.

Never had twitter, facebook, myspace, whatever, and I know for a fact I'm a better person because of that. Social media is a trap, because it's not actually about being social, it's about judging others in public court where everyone is the judge.

The only enjoyment I've gotten from social media is when furrys, freaks, and other wastes out themselves as pedophiles, rapists, and/or just generally awful people.

I guess my reasoms for staying before leaving was also following artists, some of them post stuff there that they dont post in their other accounts.
That and following on the lolidrama. But honestly its not really worth it for me anymore
Just started a Twitter, got bored with fedi.
Really? May I ask why?

i thought it'd be fun and funny, plus a nice experiment, for years ive heard horror stories from anons and fellow forum goers about twitter censorship twitter throttling shadowbans tome policing all of that good stuff, so ive been shitposting and cunnyposting hard waiting for a ban that hasnt happened yet, i also got fredrick to reply to me although i wish he wouldve answered my question.

I use twitter mostly for artists and seeing what news is trending, and occasionally digging into some retarded drama/monkey meltdown.
Cant imagine trying to use the site to communicate with other people outside of friends or fans, that seems incredibly exhausting.
The only other "social media" i use often is reddit, mostly for troubleshooting and occasional funnies.

Social media is only really effective in small groups like TS, discord, skype etc etc, massive platforms like twitter/reddit promote cloutchasing and drama outside of small circles

I still have my Twitter, but I use it to follow artists and vtubers and very few games (like Little Witch Nobeta :gurayaya: (I noticed we don't have a Nobeta emote :shake:)).

I don't follow drama because fuck that. Sometimes I stumble upon some drama, but I see that less and less among the dozens of posts of anime girls. Unfortunately, like @Narbray said some artists post (some) content exclusively there.

Pixiv needs improvement before I can use it more than Twitter to find the lewds.

Now, Reddit, fuck that place. Twitter isn't much better but at least I find a good amount of artworks I enjoy there. Reddit can implode for all I care.

twitter is only good for porn & meme accounts and even those are starting to suck
Need to build a time machine and shoot the first Jap artist who thought it was a good idea to start posting exclusively on twitter. That shit is so inconvenient, especially since twitter makes casual browsing impossible unless you log in (and I deleted that shit for a reason, fuck twitter).

I mostly use twitter to check on the news and check out the artwork that was created from Japan. And to update those on how my writing is coming along. There are times that I don't use it because I'm busy with writing and playing games.

Few months ago I finally deleted my last Facebook accounts. My mental health has been improved a lot since then. I should do that long time ago. Ιf I could I would delete my twitter account too. But unfortunately many artists I like upload their works only/mostly at twitter. Still my twitter account is locked, I make zero posts and I only use it to follow the artists I like.

Facebook used to be about socializing and having fun. But from Obama era and after it's nothing but censorship, propaganda, morality police double standards, ads spamming, political drama, traitors that will back stab you at first opportunity just for having different views...You can't even post a fucking meme at Facebook without being censored or banned for "hate speech", "fake news" and whatnot while they allow actual hate speech and fake news.

I was never big fan of Facebook in the first place. I only used it because people (including offline and online friends) stopped using forums, chatrooms and chat apps like Skype and msn. And I was the last one from my circle jerk to finally open a Facebook account at early 2010s'.

As about twitter, I stopped posting there for similar reasons (I'm only using DMs once in a while) and because all my accounts would get banned for bullshit reasons while they give a free pass to child molesters, terrorists, doxxers, political extremists and so on.

The only alternative social media I use for posting whatever I want is Minds. It's not the perfect site of course but it's the only semi-popular choice I know where I've made some nice, new online friends. Too bad Minds is owned by an anime/loli hater that has banned many anime/loli accounts that haven't even violated any rules.
