@sun the real reason is funnier
it was because the people against the flock cameras were feuding over if trump was good or not because the Omnicause people (the ones who protest "everything" at every protest) showed up too

@phnt @theorytoe @silverpill @caohuak my theory with migration is that "the normies" will only come if it's polished, normie friendly, marketed, and used enough. Normies have a huge mentally-imposed barrier to anything new/different where the second anything goes wrong they give it up and want their Windows back.

Apple is the only company who could bypass this, take a guess on why.

The "culture" kind of rotted with the great Keffals/LFJ op to shutdown Kiwi Farms and the userbase there used it as a bunker for a while, along with poasties, Jim being banned on Twitter for a while, and then the Mastodon side trying to take over before being given their own reservation to be on (Bluesky). I unfortunately wasn't there for much of the old stuff, I literally tried to use SPC when it was a GS instance and it felt like me and a few friends were trying to force ourselves to use it.

@icedquinn That's why this post is so good, it basically says that internet clampdowns did not change public opinion but rather radicalized people harder because "the jews did this" wasn't a funny joke anymore after seeing the people you like be targeted by the NGOs.

It also failed at a lot of goals, from keeping Trump out to the rise of the populist right in Europe, to trying to keep people up to date with the latest COVID script because turns out all it did was make people lose trust. Instead, those ended up happening because of how people felt about real world issues.

Interesting effortpost dropped about institutional level internet censorship calling it the "closure of the internet". It's very tl;dr but it goes into detail what many of the top social media sites did from 2015-22, and breaks it down into two phases, the post Trump/Brexit era of 15-19, and the COVID lockdown era of 2020-22.

Also it tellingly mentions that it never ended, Twitter just dialed back and everyone else has the infrastructure in place.

Of course there are also people who will deny with a smile that this actually happened.
