    It’s so bad over there. Might be the worst case of quantity over quality. It’s just stuffed full of brands trying to make themselves relevant and influencers posting engagement bait. I’m not even exaggerating, 100% of my feed is that.

    There’s nothing of worth there other than sheer volume.

      this kind of platform is only useful for following people/sportsteams/gov organizations/etc for updates or news

      no idea why anyone would bother using it as a discussion platform, its fuckin garbage at that

      And why would anyone be the least bit surprised? Copy paste facebook and all of its very genuine issues. It’s not a social platform, it’s an advertising platform.

        I’m not surprised in the slightest, but I’ve seen lots of posts saying how diverse it is over there, and how vibrant, and that it’s more like old Twitter.

        And yeah, it’s brands posting stale memes and old Twitter personalities fighting for their lives, so I guess it is like old Twitter.
