i agree to an extent, but the title of the post reads like spam, and the user didn't even try to do anything to engage as a person. if they really just wanted to extoll the virtues of a mediterranean diet they can try again and instead actually post about it

it's a bit of a confusing one for me because as far as i could tell it's just an informative (no judgment of quality being implied here) webpage? it's a single-issue webpage reminiscent of old geocities pages, even. i was even successful in building a narrative in my head of some silly jerk genuinely joining a forum (as in, not spamming) and having their first gambit be posting that

after the failure of sanders and corbyn somehow i doubt that the point of ostensibly "left" parties "adopting" rightwing policies is to win votes but rather guarantee the profits and ideologies of the donor class. they have no incentive or interest in actually governing or delivering even the weak progressive policies they claim to support because they do quite well off of donations, insider trading, "speeches" for the private sector, etc

maybe their standards are so low because theyre faced with the absolute bottom of the barrel of conservative party politicians... but maybe theyre just right wing morons

I want you to know how much restraint it's taking for me to not mention the Fediverse right now

Twitter banned me for no discernible reason and I couldn't manage to make another account so it has spared me from debate clubs. Mysterious are His ways!

Honestly the jank is worse. I experience lots of lag or the app sending me a mile upwards, I got banned for absolutely no reason - I wasn't even beefing with anyone - and there hasn't been any follow back from X since I appealed their decision with their support, users are rate limited now so you can no longer search users' tweets or their likes, media and replies.
I tried to make a new account but couldn't get it to work. It might work now, but at least I can read tweets while banned.

I don't have the problem of No Body on Blusky since some of my favorite twitter people quit the service formerly known as Twitter and hang out on Blusky instead. So just from my POV there are people to talk to there. That's true of Twitter for the moment as well but the attrition is real and visible. I mostly just view specific users to see whether there's any updates.
I only use Blusky on my phone so I can't comment on the desktop UX but to me Twitter is weirdly laggy making, e.g., long threads impossible to read without constant reloading and losing your place.
Really my problems with Twitter are the banal ones, the ghost towning, degradation of latency and UX and threats of further downgrades. The political aspects of the enshittefication haven't been enough to stop being a habitual user. I remember taking a month off because I was too compulsive at Twitter, but I am no longer under any threat of that.

im still a weirdo who divides their online presence up. my posts won't be so alluring if they're attached to a face

bsky is neat but I'm still on twitter mostly. I've spent so many years getting my twitter feed to the exact level of deranged I want, with minimal debate club shit, and I completely lose that on bsky. there's so much shit that people spend days discussing on there that no one would care about on my twitter.

Yeah same the "new post" circle is half way off the bottom of the screen and hard to click on my phone.
It feels jankier than twitter BUT: I left twitter a couple months in to musks reign and well before the site started actually falling apart, so idk how the jank is today.
What's your fediverse handle? Not sure if I'm following you yet. I'm @flabberghaster@mas.to

Just UI and the general UX is now miles better.
I feel the opposite, no more vimlike bindings and no more ctrl-click makes Bluesky unusable for me.
I do love that pages seem light and load nearly instantly, but I just can't use it
I also have the same problem of Nobody Using It, but thankfully everyone I care about is on jstpst or my fediverse so I don't mind hehe

social media should be small enough that you can read 100% of the posts in less than 10 minutes a day

we're small enough that most people just read stuff on /f/all and forums are more like tags :P

i didn't even know that we have an f/general (isn't that what f/just_post is for)
i checked it out and it's basically moonside's forum (good links from them tbh) with spams sprinkled in
