birdsite meta that i don't get
I know a lot of people have shitty experience on twitter. But I don't know how come _everyone_ has to have it badly. Personally I manage who I follow, and I try to disable all "don't show suggestions from x" and a few similar things, and it's mostly tech news, which is why I have an account there in the first place.
Granted, I don't have as much time any more so I'm mostly here, but once a week I log in to twitter and ...nothing serious, just people tweeting about tech.
I assume not being a target of abusers and idiots helps, but I keep thinking a lot of people are just yelling "twitter bad! mastodon good!" with no real reason or understanding.

@zlatko Twitter honestly isn’t terrible, but you have to use a third-app to get a good experience. Chronological timeline, carefully curate who you follow, no ads or suggestions, and it’s fairly usable.
But I’m guessing most people use the first-party app, which is a total dumpster fire. I’m amazed Twitter has kept the API access open this long, but maybe that’s because only a small portion uses it?
