Twitter’s X name change has led to a decrease in App Store downloads - “You can't grow a business, or your bottom line, without new users.” #x #Twitter #SocialMedia #SocialMediaPlatforms #enshittification #enshitification #ElonMusk #fail https://mashable.com/article/twitter-x-app-store-downloads

I’m finding that, for me, the loss of Reddit is hitting a lot harder than the demise of Twitter ever did. I did enjoy Twitter, pre-Musk, especially for getting the latest news and tuning in to the many high-level conversations that USED TO happen there - gone now. But for me #Twitter was also kinda like shouting in the wind, too vast, too impersonal. But the many sub-reddits I subscribe to were community, and in some cases, even like family to me. Reddit has changed now, in so many ways, and is just a shadow of its former self. It’s a damn shame. A lot of my favorite subs are gone, or have new moderators who are clueless. The content on the site is miserable when compared to the past. I’m seeing so much junk, inane junk at that, in my feed. I’d been so comfortable on Reddit, an entirely enjoyable daily habit. Now, more often than not, the platform is a frustrating disappointment. End of rant. #Reddit #SocialMedia #SocialMediaPlatforms

I've started seeing other #socialmediaplatforms 😄

On #socialmediaplatforms, more sharing means less caring about accuracy @MIT @ScienceAdvances https://phys.org/news/2023-03-social-media-platforms-accuracy.html

@xtaldave Trying to cover legal butt from #AntitrustLaw with: "In general, any type of cross-posting to our platform is not in violation of this policy, even from the prohibited sites listed above.
Additionally, we allow paid advertisement/promotion for any of the prohibited social media platforms."
Is linking to a #personalblog or #businesswebsite allowed? What if you have links to other #SocialMediaPlatforms there?

Yep I am one. Just starting to explore #Mastodon Feeling sad that the new owner of Twitter cares not for all those that used #Twitter to promote good causes, report the real news, share their interests, take time to offer support to strangers in need and much more. #socialmediaplatforms are a double edged sword. But it is those in control of them that decide which side of the sword makes the cut. Decentralized Mastodon seems a good alternative.

#Mastodon is interesting because, and I think many other newcomers here will agree, that despite having much lower numbers of followers, toots can have surprisingly healthy engagement! #socialmediaplatforms

Not that it really matters, if only because I rarely used Twitter anyway. Yesterday I unfollowed all but <10 accounts (it had been <100 to start with).

However, the site stepped up sending alerts for accounts I had never followed to "fill in."

So just now I also took the app off my phone and tablet. I haven't technically closed my account, but no alerts that will make me look reflexively.
