I'm not sure it will, and I don't really want it to. Twitter is a shithole in part because of the userbase. If Twitter dies, the users will move to Bluesky and make that shitty too. I'm already seeing porn bots appearing in my feeds with as small a userbase as there is!

That's valid, luckily, Threads seems to be taking all the alt right extremists, Mastodon is taking all the programmers, and Bluesky is taking all the furries and LGBTQ
And I'll be right there with Bluesky, it's so much better on every issue, significantly fewer bots, no ads, no premium version, and no AI
Yet. Mind you, they are VC-backed. Eventually they will enshittify it.
Nothing lasts forever. But for now, it's decent enough.
Sure. On the other hand, I’m not sure it’s a good idea to make a new home at a platform with an investment from crypto bros, that will eventually become Twitter/X 2.0. https://universeodon.com/@cryptadamist/113472115447080382
I have never heard of this VC before. What is it? /gen

I wouldn't get too excited. Humans as a whole aren't particularly smart and it only takes a small percentage of bad actors and super dipshits to spread misinformation like a cancer no matter what platform you're on.
Our species wasn't prepared for the internet. We should be adding courses to public education teaching how to separate fact from fiction and how to find and utilize reliable sources, but instead we gleefully elected a party that ran on deconstructing the public education system.
Oops.
Not best either
