Some of you may know that some specific instances have continued working for a while now (e.g. nitter.poast.org) thanks to them using account tokens.

Well - now the official instance also seems to be back online and using that method too. Haven’t seen many people talk about this so I figured I should post it :).

    I can honestly say Ive never used x or twitter. I absolutely hate the format and it seems like a waste of life to scroll through a feed reading quick snippets of text.

    At least with a reddit or Lemmy style social media platform, I can click on the text snippet and be brought to a more in depth post about it. And it’s simple to navigate replies for useful information.

    Twitter is like somebody yelling something from a megaphone, then a crowd of people screaming over them randomly.

    Discord is the next platform that needs to die. Online forums were perfect for what they did, then discord came along and now it’s a nightmare to comb through any type of community or support system for useful information. Again, people screaming into the void…

      Discord is great (ignoring privacy concerns) for playing games and chatting with some friends. But, it’s crazy that so many people seem to think it’s good for more public information sharing and support.
