    That’s so interesting, our Twitter consumption habits are really different. What do you use Twitter for? Just sending out updates to your followers?

    Also as an aside, I hate how lemmy users are like Redditors and downvote any information contrary to what they want to see

      I was thinking the same. There’s one person being honest about why they use Twitter - in a thread asking about why it’s still used - and the only thing people can do here is downvoting him? It’s sad.

        It’s not all users, it’s the server culture. Try a different server and you’ll see a different user culture.

          Servers are not isolated from each other, people participate in communities regardless of the server they have their account on, that’s how the federation works.

          Tho if by “server” you actually mean “community” then yes, each community can have its own “culture” like different subs on reddit did.

            Unless a server is defederated. Try viewing from beehaw.org for example. You’ll have a more curated, and some would argue, less toxic experience. I have accounts on multiple servers and swap between them depending on my desired browsing experience. And though lemmyworld has a huge amount of content the quality of the discussion often reminds me of what you’d find on Reddit all.

              I know of beehaw defederating from a lot of instances, that doesn’t make them isolated tho, there are still a lot of instances they’re federated with.

                That’s true but my point is that a lot of the servers that they are de-federating result in a significantly different experience. The inexplicable down voting you referenced above is not encountered as frequently on beehaw, at least in my experience.

                  That’s only beehaw tho, it’s quite an unique community, it’s not representative of the “average” lemmy server.

                    I started on beehaw and then moved to blahaj.zone and have been using it since… i appreciate what beehaw are trying to do but the server and their leadership feels a little like they are sniffing their own farts, and I didn’t like that my feed there seemed a lot more sparse than the one I see on blahaj.zone. I am still feeling it out tho.
