It doesn't matter how much Musk pays, trying to sell to to the social concious that twitter is a "news app" is a fool's errand.
That said, I do agree that Twitter is a horrible social networking platform. Not even in a snarky way.
- I could never follow conversations on whatever the hell response system it sets up.
- It's focused on short form comments but tons of people use it as a blogging platform (including its new owner).
- The algorithms and filtering are just horrid. It is so bizarre how I can be logged off and not even see user feeds in any meaningful order (ignoring that it filters out NSFW stuff).
- They recently made worse with blocking changes. a social networking tool with bad user filering is failing its most basic task. meanwhile they also recently decided to privatized what people liked, so it's all sorts of backwards in its design.
But despite all that, Bluesky as a "social network" platform solves #3. For now. Wonderful,I can see tweets in reverse chronological order without being logged in (and for now, the curation is... fine). But people still want imageboards with small character limits so I'll just continue to yell at a (literal, not digital) cloud.
