Twitter was not bad because "hashtags this" or "trends that". Twitter was bad because:
1. Centralized.
2. They forced you to ID yourself with a phone number.
3. They hand your data to third party companies.
4. Most governments were using it to ID people saying bad things about them.
5. Ads and corporative campaigns.
@robots My biggest gripe with Twitter is the negativity. The social justice warriors hate the right, the right hates them. They all end up being hypocrites anyway. I like it here on Mastodon because conversation seems to be more civil.
@timapple But that's people's issue, not Twitter's. You can see plenty of that here too. The whole Internet has been taken by those.
@robots I understand..I just see a ton more of it there... not all of them have moved here....yet..
