The cultural divide is going to continue to grow as liberals stay on Twitter and the right goes to Parlr (once Trump makes an account). Small chance (I'm thinking 30%) that the Left gets tired of fully lib Twitter (or fully lib Twitter gets tired of them) and moves to Mastodon instances.
it's UI is a bit strange, you just have different things open in different columns. i like it but not everyone does. there's a few alternate frontends for it to make it more conventional.
Oh if it's like that, I think you'll come around if there's ever an exodus. Any new platform is gonna take some getting used to, especially with the complexities of federation at hand. It'd be an organic thing anyway since it's Twitter's game to lose (mass bans targeting leftists, for instance).
While we're on the topic, how would you feel if the admins spun up our own instance? So you'd be just a couple of clicks away from "tweeting" as skoubalon@chapo.chat on Mastodon
Perhaps there should be 4 social media sites; one for authoritarian right-wingers, one for libertarian right-wingers, one for authoritarian leftists, one for...
There's a lot of their base that 1. Won't be able to use parlr due to it being not as convenient of a platform and 2. Actually don't want to be seen shmoozing with literal neonazis on that platform.
A large chunk of the republicans are fucking completely bought into it, but a bigger chunk are just white pearl clutches that want zero to do with actual fascist ideology.
Just like when the one news network, forget which one, cut him off cuz he was lying about the votes. Same thing I was like “oh you guys found you balls finally, only took you 4 years” 🙄

Oh, it's pathetic. But honestly, him losing Twitter is far more enraging to him than him losing the election.
The other platforms have a fraction of the engagement.
The only thing keeping Twitter's lights on is reactionary shitposting.

Trump won't go to Parler, it's been taken off the Google play store and Apple has a problem with their policies.
Trump go on chapo.chat
@realDonaldTrump welcome home son!

Untick the "Enable advanced web interface" box in preferences and it will look pretty much identical to twitter.

I haven't used it a ton, but in what way?
It's federated/FOSS nature should mean that UI issues can be customized away, but maybe there's a core issue of some sort?

Yeah fair
I would fucking love that
Nah you just use a different one. This ain't twitter, you don't go to your account settings to pick the theme.
Web 2.0 and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

The political compass is a libertarian party op.
Political compass is haram!!
