I haven’t even touched Twitter.

But really how many people here actually have Twitter

I assume very few, but we just parrot what we hear about Twitter to laugh at it or something

It’s like tiktok, I bet a shit ton of these tweets or tiktok screen shots are fake or bait

I mean that doesn’t mean Twitter isn’t bad, for me at least I have no use for that website

I mean it’s kept online art alive after Tumblr died

But outside of that cancel culture is probably the worst aspect of Twitter

People just wanna get mad I guess

But I also don’t like the people who literally make Twitter their job

You know, Hero Hei (lol) and other YouTube channels, just talk about random Twitter drama

Can we all just shut up about Twitter? I guess not, I mean just look at this thread

You guys got anything to say?

I use Twitter to follow posts from Japanese authors and artists i like. Generally, the Japanese side of Twitter is pretty peaceful, while the Western side is less so. Western Tik Tok is worse than Western Twitter because it's used to spread dumb and dangerous "challenges" that results in physical harm and/or damage to other people's property.
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

Only account I have is so I can access images. Because twitter made a stupid new policy that prevents you form full screening images without an account.

The 98% of artists (and art in general) that I like on Instagram only anyway (Twitter just became too cringe for me)

Also, too many overfed and opinionated people on Twitter.

But if you are into Japanese art/artists then Twitter is a good place, I suppose.

I use Twitter daily actually, but I only follow artists and a few esports related accounts. Twitter is definitely cancer but honestly drama rarely shows up on my timeline fortunately.

Or maybe it does, idk what all the Japanese people I follow are talking about. But if I can't read it it can't bother me 😎

When I first registered on the site it was because someone asked me if I had an account and I thought maybe it would be good thing to have for the future. But I didn't really know what to do there or who to follow once I had registered. I got into using Twitter more recently because of the art aspect, and because a friend was using it. There's certainly a huge number of artists on there.

Like the previous poster, I also follow a few esports related accounts. I generally don't watch esports, but I enjoy keeping up with the outcomes of certain matches and personalities.

I'm mainly there to keep tabs on the rule 34 artists that I used to follow on tumblr.

I kinda still have aspirations to be one myself, but as a traditional painter by trade, going digital is much easier said than done.

Literally have three folders of SS's of self-proclaimed "leftists" posting OSINT finds to swat/dos anyone they mark for execution be it minors [linked a kids high school ffs] random adults and even government officials.

So yeah, pretty fucking cancer just by that and that's not giving into the type of circle jerk behaviour that occurs on that platform and that goes for both right and left.

However raw information when certain events take place is pretty useful if you're following it in real time.

The gore/harmful content filters of twitter usually only activate after 5 minutes or when enough people report however what this means is that if you're following an event in real time most people who are at the event will be posting life unfiltered images and videos and you will be able to see what is actually taking place.

Similar to liveleak while it was active but still gets the job done.

From all the live footage of the 2020 riots from actual footage of david dorns death, all looting for just about every instane [because dumb fucks often record on their phones while they're entering, real smart ones I tell ya] and all manner of other stuff.

Great stuff came out when the Beirut explosion first took place [most was removed though] and also for the recent situation in Kabul.

So yeah, cancerous place for any sort of objective discourse but when it comes to raw images/video of breaking events you can't get any better considering everyone now has access to twitter and a phone, be it rioters in the US, terrorists in the middle east or civilians on the ground in Beirut, all have phones and that video will usually crop up first on twitter.

I use twitter, but not as much currently. It's mostly because I had a falling out with someone, and they took the easy way out instead of talking things through. I'm disappointed in them.

Last year, I spend some time on Twitter and it was a horrible experience. Most of the tweets are straight up outrageous and it's very very toxic. Like you can say toxicity is everywhere on the internet, but on the Twitter it's just on another level. It very much affects mental health. I have an account for some personal purposes, but I avoid using it most of the time.

It's useful I guess if you wanted to know what's up. Facebook also does that but it takes several clicks to share info whereas Twitter only needs one.

Agree. I use Twitter to follow Japanese authors, mangakas, artists (both SFW and NSFW), seiyuus, idols, and people and accounts related to the anime/manga/light novel/visual novel/video game/music industry. I'ts also useful for following cosplayers, models, streamers and youtubers from around the world.

Everything outside of that is absolute, pure cancer. I remember that when I started on Twitter I spend more time than I like to admit painstainkilly curating my feed and follows, so I wouldn't encounter any of the toxicity and bullshit populating that site, not even by accident.

honestly, it's one of my most-used apps

though I had to block and mute hundreds of drama, egoistic, triggering, and controversial accounts/words in order to keep my sanity

I literally just use Twitter to retweet funny/cool things so I can see it later, keep up on news with whatever is trending, and I follow a few accounts that post when things go in stock for things like Pokemon cards, funko pops, sales on things. Also follow for video game news.

Me tweeting things out? Nah barely ever cause legit no one but like 10 people follow me and I am literally not important. Even if I was famous with thousands or millions of followers I prob still wouldn't tweet anything just like I never post anything on Instagram.

I got 2 accounts banned. You can get by it by once you create the account go right to settings and change the setting that says "use location".

But you will probably have to get a new #. I did

Twitter used to be great when it first came out. It was an actual micro-blogging service where people just used to shoot the shit, now it's a political platform and is just saturated with toxic sludge. I can't stand it anymore.
