Twitter ain't lookin so hot, folks
2 years ago
We all know FA can be a pile of garbage sometimes, especially when the TOS can suddenly change with no warning... Naturally it's made us all seek alternatives for posting content, before the site may destroy itself...
But can we all just turn our head 45 degrees, and acknowledge twitter is sinking faster than the titanic? Twitter seemed like a good alternative that let you post whatever you want, years ago... but toxicity and random changes like "verified accounts" have turned it into the biggest metaphorical among us lobby I've ever seen. Everyone is blindly mad at each other without evidence because the character limit forces everyone to put an essay in one paragraph. I don't judge the site for this "feature" given how popular it is... but Elon is getting Ratio'd very hard for his most recent TOS change.
Apparently twitter is now restricting how many tweets you can read; NOT how many tweets you actually read, but how many you scroll past. So... like that, free speech has a limit on twitter. GoodByeTwitter is TRENDING lmao. Elon's explanation is vague, and frankly not acceptable for a multimillion dollar platform.
This is dumber than Youtube forcing all animated content to be marked family friendly (including south park). This is dumber than half of our galleries nearly being deleted because we drew pokemon. This is a smoothbrain move, and it shows exactly who is in control of this cesspit we call an "Alternative to Furafinnity."
Twitter is not where people should be posting their art anymore... Elon is ALWAYS in the news for drama. One day he might suddenly be gay, or the next day a furry, or the next day support extremist... it doesn't matter. A man like THAT is much more dangerous than Dragoneer. Look at all the companies who had to deal with fake certified accounts claiming things in their name. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN YOU.
SOMEONE COULD HAVE COPIED YOUR ACCOUNT VIA TWITTER BLUE, STOLEN AND REPOSTED YOUR CONTENT AND FALSELY REPORTED YOU TO GET YOU BANNED FROM THE SITE.
That's how bad Twitter is right now! This isn't a pipe dream, or some meme-worthy content. This is an actual threat to any community on the sight. Twitter is consistently full of raving nutcases who use anything other than common sense online, and with the dumb things Elon is up to, they'll probably get another opportunity like this very soon. If I were any of you, I wouldn't invest my art onto that site. Use a google drive... Sofurry, Inkbunny, Furrynetwork, even E621... ANYTHING but twitter if it keeps going downhill like this. Furaffinity might slowly be sinking, but Twitter is a cruise ship ON FIRE.
Just my 2 cents on the umpteenth thing twitter will somehow survive, but several of its users will not. ;)

Does he have some kind of master plan that we aren't seeing?
Is he somehow smarter than all of us, or is he really just that dam stupid?
The Pokémon thing is dumb as hell, though. Forget what they look like, consider the fact that there are Pokémon that are literally YEARS older than a lot of the newer artists using this site now. Lol
