Twitter Alternatives and Social Media Changes

[TiQuinn]

Really? Prime has a few options, but mostly looks like a flea market DVD bin.

If by flea market DVD bin, you mean great older shows and movies that you don’t see elsewhere.

Or that you do see, but only in a bowdlerized form.

I'm looking at you, Hulu release of the Macross Dynamite 7 OVA.

There older stuff yeah. I would argue last year or so Amazon was the best at least for us.

We're canceling Disney+ after 5 years. 2 good show a year doesn't cut Iit and MCU care factor is 0.

Some subreddirs I pay a bit of attention to have banned links to Twitter, Meta and anything tied to CCP eg Tik Tok.

I dislike just about everything Prime puts out. I was about to cancel when Fallout dropped, then stuck around for the black Friday deals. They just manage to barely keep me hanging on.

O liked Fallout, WoT S2, RoPS2, Clarkson Farm, Grand Tour finale and we did a bond marathon.

Relative to everything else it won the last 12 months or so. Ymmv of course.

Still on FB and switched the personal Twitter things to Bluesky. I have a work account on both Twitter and Bluesky but don't actively use the Twitter one and might nuke it as Bluesky gets a higher density. (So my answer to the question in the poll was Bluesky).

Nuked the work Twitter account too,

I'm still on Twitter, though a lot less lately. There are still accounts there that aren't on competing platforms (especially anime and tokusatsu properties which I am interested in following).

Insta/Threads provide me with a lot of funny videos that I don't ask for but still find them amusing. Instagram is infuriating to me because I like a good timeline and the posting date/time is totally obscured and often out of order.

Bluesky is nice, but for some reason doesn't feed me what i want to see. The great thing about Twitter in the old days (before it got way toxic and most of my time was spent doomscrolling) is how easy it was to get news and posts I was interested in. I feel like I really have to search more on Bluesky at the moment anyway. I don't do political news on the blue bird anymore and that helps, but I wish Bluesky had more of the content I want (and displayed it to me in a way I prefer).

Above your timeline, there are a number of choices of how to present content to you.
