How do you read me comment and take away that I still dont know what Astral is? You acted like everyone had heard of it. My point is not even all the users of uv have.
In various types of training eating is the hardest part. Because you say "just have an extra bowl of yogurt" it lets me know you don't understand how hard it is to eat all of this food. This is the main reason protein powder is so prevalent.
The idea that someone should be paid by a corporation when they don't provide value is very strange to me. Doing so seems like the real race to the bottom
what about when someone provides long-term value? They would be replaced by a short-term thinking corp (namely, all of them) for providing less value than an alternative with it's value purely in the short-term.
We are accelerating by preferring short-term gains. Like a fire becoming an explosion, that's modern society. Corps now throw the future under the bus for a slight boost in short-term value.
So you were only trying to say that page refreshed aren’t common on some subset of pages where it isn’t common? What’s the point of that argument.
Also curious, why are you arguing so intensely for a “solution” that seems to only be worse and introduces issues as explained, without ever having stated any problem you are trying to solve with the change?
The facts are that Threads has 275m MAU and has been #1 on the App Store almost continually since it launched. Bluesky is now #2 and rapidly growing. The momentum is real and significant.
And the world is sick of Elon Musk and US politics.
I don't think that's particularly true but even if it was, the site is overrun with crypto spam and porn bots that will drive people away. I know 3 people who have deactivated their account and switched to bluesky in the past week - and anecdotal evidence for many people on bluesky seems to suggest engagement levels are significantly higher. The network effects are really gaining traction as well.
I gave up on Twitter when I opened the app in public to find a porn video playing in the main feed, despite not following or interacting with any accounts of that nature previously. That was ~6 months ago and I haven't looked back.
Twitter is quite small as far as big social media platforms go (about 300 million, largest individual userbase by far US citizens [1]). Compared to Telegram with a billion users and Instagram, Facebook, TikTok/Douyin in the billions the constant talking about Twitter/Elon and so forth isn't that internationally relevant.
No offense but it's mostly Americans screaming at other Americans about how important America is. It's a little bit tiresome how much headspace that site and owner occupy these days on certain parts of the internet.
