Oh that'll fucking show em
actually it will.
weaning reliance off of a Nazi owned platform is the early signs of a dying product.
Lemmy should do the same IMO.
Some Lemmy communities already have.
!playstation@lemmy.world and !nintendo@lemmy.world have bith banned it
Twitter probably benefits from people being redirected to their site from repostings with how it has become the go to source for news like sports, so it might. Won't hurt Elon financially but less people being exposed to the content there that Elon wants to push that don't actively use Twitter is a good thing even if it is only a few.
Even small moves is a good thing with how over the years sports and game submissions have become increasingly more Twitter submissions.
Twitters value has already been going down the shitter thanks to shit leadership, this is just another nail.
The less its posts are shared, the less its relevance is to the world. I can't see that as a bad thing. It always baffled me how outsize Twitter's influence was on world events/news while having 1/5th the active userbase of Facebook.
