I have been following some topics on twitter for over a decade, because for better or for worse, it has been a pretty good place for people posting pictures. And even in 2026, you can still search for shit, filter for media and arrange the results chronologically. But it seems that people post less and less. It was already noticeable like a year ago, but just today I was easily able to just scroll a week's worth of posts on the search page. That was almost impossible even a year ago and not just due to spam (which has also increased).Afaict, people still post on instagram, but its search is and has always been shit. Youtube recentlyish removed the option to sort result chronologically ("don't come on youtube for breaking news"). Flickr still works, but either nobody uses flickr or nobody tags their shit on flickr, so it's undiscoverable.I don't really have much else to say about it. Twitter is dying?
you could have said all that on twitteranyway, delete your X account, it's bad for you. engage in your local community instead
>>109594894Its suffering an intentional death by its own design. They've forgotten its a social media platform where people want to share what they and others have made, hiding the reposts by default on profiles. They design it to be more complicated and difficult to navigate, thinking users will spend more time scrolling by removing an easily readable gallery media in favor on infinite scroll feeds. Artists stop using it, communities become more difficult to form, but its okay because you can see political grifter videos easier now.
>>109594894Half the countries now block porn, so twitter has to use its hyper sensitive AI to filter everything, which makes it a pain to use for a lot of people. And lets be honest, most people just use it for porn.
>>109595035The topics and people I was following were shockingly enough not porn. I have never used twitter for porn to a significant degree. Like sure, it's not 0, but the vast majority of the time it has been non-porn topics.Idk if people have moved on other sites or if they have just stopped altogether. Most social media sites have made it very hard to discover shit for yourself, they really want you to be at the mercy of some algorithm instead.
>>109595439The point is the other people that post in your topic came for the porn tooLess porn, less resson to visit, less posts etc
Dead internet theory is happening with X especially with the help of Grok.
>>109594894>people still post on instagramit fels backwards for me the only ones i see posting on IG are whores but I see regular stuff on twitter, Instagram feels way more dead to me, the regular people I know on there don't post at all any more, there's so many bots and fake accounts on there and hacked accounts too. Instagram is so dead and impersonal now and they shove way more shit into it. You still have least have a lot more control on twitter compared to IGLike look at this shit, what is even going on over there
>>109594894use case for using xitter in big 2000+26?you can't search for shityou are shadow banned by defaultyou WILL consume whatever political slop the shove down your throatyou will never see the people you follow on the main pageAll social medias are gay but xitter is the biggest aids ridden faggot of all of them, many tech people have moved to places like mastodon but its a struggle to use and navigate too. Just stop using all this shit and save whats left of your soul
Works on my machine, just stick to the Japanese side of twitter
>>109595979Isn't IG being flooded with content made by bots using AI and pretending to be real people, basically Indian scammers looking to create the next influencer hoe and cash in on that
>>109594894>genuinelythis word, used like this, is now a pretty good slop marker, not unlike the em dash that came beforethe general expectation should be that whatever anyone is saying, is genuine by default so there's rarely any need to be this explicit about it
>>109594894you're growing old, unc
>>109596293I like following people who draw things I like. A lot of people know how to shut the fuck up and just upload their paintings/drawings.
The people are on bluesky
>>109596703>people
>>109596408Yeah, me too and that's exactly where I have been seeing the amount and quality of posts becoming worse.>>109596703No, not really. Bluesky is fine for chatting with internet buds, but to me it sure looks like people who stopped posting on twitter have just stopped instead of moving to bluesky. Just to confirm if that's still the case, I searched one of my keywords on bluesky and after a few screenfuls I was in the year 2024. As bad as it is being able to reach "last week" on twitter after a few minutes, there is still more actual posts there than there are on bluesky.

>>109597439Correct
>>109597641i wish people didn't get paid for creating engagement on twitter
>>109594894All public spaces with massive userbases are dying. No low trust society lasts for long I don't know why subhuman troglodytes insist on recreating them over and over and over and over and over and...
>>109594894>people are allowed to speak more freely>leftists start getting rekt>they end up losing a top 10 site so they make bluesky>no one joins them>leftists start whining about X all over the internet because "Elon called me a tranny or something"I guess this is technically a step above making a X screencap thread but not by much.
>>109597355Twitter leavers are all on IG and tiktok
>>109597757It’s a function of intelligence to be able to infer future consequences and discover patterns
>>109594894>still the only place where nsfw artists worldwide post their shit>10% of them have moved to bskyshould all artists move to pixiv??? fucking baraag??
>>109594894There's a never ending cycle of Indian Hindu rape rats infesting and ruining human civilization, humans running away somewhere else, and the Hindu rape rats following them to repeat the process. Until we have tech LEADERS- actual leaders- who can firmly say the Indian Hindu rape rats are the problem, and I will not hire a single employee from India or a jew- we will keep seeing the endless hijacking and enshittification of everything we have built.
I honestly don't know how anyone is using twitter since they started blocking third-party clients and put Tweetdeck on a subscription. Their base UI has always been dogshit. Of course the site's getting worse when the people still there are people used to wallowing in dog shit
>>109600019i'm guessing especially the not commercial NSFW artists will have to pick a bunch of locations? i think some also went to discord and the fediverse (so mastodon/pleroma/whatever instead of bluesky...) subscribestar/patreon whatever else.i'm not saying there's an ideal solution for th commercial nsfw artists regardless if it was just a part time job with commissions or w/e. no one says there is a solution for the commercial mass market; ask the conventional commercial musicians how fun it was to deal with us big platform internet bullshit - it also never worked well for many or most of them.
>>109600019there are plenty of NSFW artists on misskey.io
>>109601775What instance do you recommend for blog/liveposting?
>>109601987on the fediverse you pick instance(s) you like and/or are related to what you post. might also be a choice about per-country laws.this isn't leading to one obvious or necessarily a single instance. how would anon know what you blog about.
>>109601987>>109602018i see enough people blogging on shitposter.world that i'd probably recommend that to someone on the anime-racist side of the internetfrankly the best instance is your own though
>>109602052true, there is the 4ch adjacent space (at least in terms of rules/culture) over there, makes sense to recommend it.the strongly connected instances you often show up of course will also be much like it.
>>109594894>twitter is genuinely witheringGood.>good place for people posting picturesCan say that about tons of other platforms. Social media is groupthink retardation nigger spam (including this place), but nothing is worse than mainstream, highly commercialized, bot-ridden social media.>it seems that people post less and lessGood.>people still post on instagram>YoutubeJust as retarded as twitter.>nobody uses flickr or nobody tags their shit on flickrSounds much better.>Twitter is dying?I hope you're right.>I have been following some topics on twitter for over a decadeGo back or KYS.
>>109594894If you think that twitter is now worse than during covid, when it was completely locked down and only bot posts were allowed.... you are retarded.I don't like twitter, it fucking sucks, Elon sucks... BUT the drooling leftoid garbage that is nostalgic over total censorship shutdown need to get eradicated.
Yes, "ironically" (and the first time someone on this board has used that term correctly since 2018) Meta's Threads.net has overtaken it to be the most active social media platform. No clue how they did that.
twitter was always phoneposter garbage that literally got popular becaue of the iPhoneanyone with a twitter account should be permabanned, that includes rapeape
Not many people in the world rape children, so the target group of people who want to use the social network of a child rape advocate is rather slim. The same goes for Instagram but it's not dead yet because Meta is owned by le ethnic minority which people can excuse much better.
>>109602394They just relabeled IG comments to that and lied the company is run by jews btw
>>109602394What's ironic about that?
>>109594894>>109598472Well, people aren't content to stay on a site full of child porn.
>>109602459>>109602582everyone that says this hates him because of his politics and creates any excuse to tar and feather him. It's also the same people that support muslims, who have a religion centered around the literal worship of a pedophile.
>>109594894I only use twitter for drawn porn
>>109602685And how has that been working for you? No complaints about the quantity/frequency/quality?My thoughts are that the home page is algorithm soup which sometimes shows you shit from people you follow. Search works, as long as people tag their posts and you're willing to sift through the spam. I guess you can also visit artists' pages manually.
Internet in general feels more hollow.The conclusion was that 80% of discussion that would happen out in the open on search indexed forums has moved to closed down discords.
Afrimerica is in full damage control mode and everything is flooded by cowdung earning jeets posting MIGA shit all day, if they can't win a real war maybe they could win an internet war or something
>>1095976414chinz owns you, lil bro
there was childporn over there 24/7 if you searched for #teenage #nolimit
Twitter is not dying. It's actually slowly killing this place because they do free speech better than we do here. They don't have a million captchas and jewish ban happy mods wandering around.
>>109603746
No one wants to hang out with uncs on Twitter. The online hangouts change every 5-7 years. Discord is about time to start dying too for something else.
>>109604141I'm @grunit:xmr.se (via matrix)
>>109604141This stopped being true in like 2015. We are stuck with the same 5 services forever.
>>109594894Everything is dying. The Internet has no source of revenue or connection. It's all ruined by bots. What's the point? You'd have better luck writing messages in a bathroom stall if you want to find real human beings.
>>109604243That's not true thoughIt's really ironic you say this when someone (me) literally just made a friendly attempt at reaching out and making a connectionlmao
>>109602018>>109602052Thanks. I like posting about anime, VN, and /g/-related stuff that I'm doing. I'd love to host my own instance but I still haven't found a reliable way to own a domain without giving up my personal details.

>>109604175>>109604260Did anyone ever write to you?
>>109594894Twitter's just for burgers to have freak outs and temper tantrums over their faggoty politics.
>>109604711>Twitter's just for burgers to have freak outs and temper tantrums over their faggoty politics.Case in point, this guy here >>109602618 who clearly worships Elon Musk for some reason and just randomly rants about muslims for some reason. Pure burger retardation. These people are just mad at the whole world because women hate them and they end up flailing and taking out their anger in random directions.

>>109604141discord is doing fine. what is happening however is a rapid decrease in the global adolescent population.>>109594894relative to other social media platforms, twitter is very strong. however probably an echo chamber effect is being intensified due to recent algorithm changes that keep users within silos of rhetoric.
>>109604175>runitYou are @crunit via discord and have worked with the nonce leto who tries to kill websites with spammer scripts and CSAM
>>109605612None of that is true, although, I do know your full name, your address, and various other information, but because of >>>/rules/global4 I unfortunately cannot post them. Please stop spamming /g/ desperately trying to get my attention
>>109605696Runit buddy you have defended leto multiple times and everyone knows your info you nonce, now quit spamming /g/ and take a walk past the MOMA and talk to real human beings instead of being parasocial on here
>>109605765>defended letoWhen? I will say it again, if you have an issue with someone posting child pornography on your website, or any website at all, you need to take that concern to the FBI, the IC3, or whoever your relevant authority is. I'm just gonna keep telling you the same thing. Show any evidence of this retarded bullshit, or else I am going to file a report with the FBI myself about you attempting to blackmail me right now. I will have legal aid pay to subpoena 4chan and get your IP address, RapeApe will get an e-mail into the legal compliance demanding all data including mine be retained in this thread. I'm not asking you anymore, I'm telling you. Leave me the fuck alone.
And this is why I block tripfags
>>109594894Everybody knew this would happen after Elon bought it, and he accelerated it by monetizing hostility
its been pushing for ragebait quite aggressively even in areas where it was borderline absent, which in the end drives the harmless posters away and turns into a negative feedback loop, making more and more people leavesame shit is happening in this hellhole
>>109603767Yeah sure bud, no captcha, no jewish mods, just jewish palm scanners and spyware for daring to like tweets that are anti-Elon.
>>109594894what, did people on X yell at you that you'll never be a real woman? rumao
