@ERDonnachie Oh I totally agree that Meta, Google and Apple are more powerful and that they should be on this list. But I would also like Twitter to be included, given the direction its policies are taking since Musk took over. @nelsonakis Yes, though hopefully the usual rules will keep them slightly in check. And perhaps journalists and politicians will even walk away from X and spend their time with something less toxic. @ERDonnachie @nelsonakis Y dale perico al torno con que tuiter es tóxico. Es un reflejo de la sociedad. Si hubiese aquí la misma cantidad de usuarios que allí este sitio sería igual de tóxico Mira a youtubers (grandes y pequeños) diciendo que les cae 'hate' siempre. No es culpa de las plataformas, es culpa de la humanidad. @SrPICHAku @ERDonnachie @nelsonakis Si es verdad. Las plataformas no inventan a las personas. Ellos existen. Pero si eres aficionado a los deportes vas a un estadio, si eres religioso vas a un templo, si eres racista/fascista/etc vas a X @ramtamplam @ERDonnachie @nelsonakis ¿Estás diciendo que en Mastodon NO HAY instancias llenas de nazis o tránsfobos de las que el resto se desengancha? En todos los pucheros cuecen habas. Siempre. He conocido a mucha más gente MARAVILLOSA en Tuiter de la crees. Dejad de demonizar los sitios, estáis "engettizando" internet y parecéis unos sobrados. @SrPICHAku @ERDonnachie @nelsonakis No. i didn't say nothing that you say I did. @SrPICHAku @ERDonnachie @nelsonakis Yes it is true. Platforms don't invent people. They exist. But if you're a sports fan you go to a stadium, if you're religious you go to a temple, if you're a racist/fascist/etc you go to X @ERDonnachie @nelsonakis Then you might as well include snapchat or discord, which are big outside our demographic. #eu has to start somewhere. @nelsonakis @ERDonnachie the Digital Markets App isn't written in a way that would benefit Twitter anyways. you're describing a different type of legislature altogether @ERDonnachie @nelsonakis It was used directly only by relatively few, but indirectly via almost everyone. @ERDonnachie @nelsonakis have you looked up that number? Twitter had a massive following before a recent purchase. @mikebabcock @ERDonnachie @nelsonakis things got so bad after the purchase, the european commission is on mastodon. Also, I've never heard "add reddit to your search query for better results". Adding twitter used to be nice for tims sensitive issue like is there an earthquake or is a service down but they killed that. Twittee boarded the express to bankrupt city and it threatening the conductor so they go faster |
@nelsonakis
Yes, though it's always annoyed me how people (mainly journalists) go on as if Twitter is some type of irreplaceable infrastructure, and not a tool that is used by fairly few people. So I'm quite happy it's not up there with Meta, Google and Apple, who have much more power over our lives.
