Twitter is very much active, it is the first place all political discussions happen. It is where the Israel attacks unfolded. It is where every big figure has an account and share their viewpoints.
It is also where you often see two sides having very different viewpoints argue, something in which it is unique - since by design it tries to allow different ideas even if you don't agree with them.
But not so with Lemmy - which is extremely left centric, and harbours so much hatred against people, censorship, and the ostrich syndrome of burying you head in the sand, that this post to censor Elon and this amazing claim that Twitter is dead gets so much attraction. Case in point how I predict when near 100% accuracy that this comment will be voted down and buried.
lol you can't be censored on lemmy. It's a decentralized platform. Just start your own server.
Lol. Both sides argue? Most tweets are by a small number of people. Before, right wingers were complaining it's all bots, now suddenly, Elon pushes dodgy Right wing accounts to the frontpage and you guys reckon it's not true anymore.
How many people do you know who actually use Twitter? I can only think of one, and fairly sure he left it ages ago.
Twitter is growing in irrelevance. Just because people have accounts on it doesn't mean they use it either.
Do you really think Twitter is growing? Lol.
