Anyone on Twitter?

I've been on the platform for years but only just logged into tonight again lol. Anyone still using it - is it still relevant?

A lot of the micro label scene lives on Twitter, just follow some musicians you like.

Did it for way too long.  But have an addictive personality and don't need that right now.

Twitter is a little bit too much doomscrolling (i.e. an endless stream of pointless arguments and bad news you can do nothing about, except join in and scream into the void), and to top it off they have recently started to nag you with a login screen so if you want to view stuff without getting an account you are in for a shitty experience.

This forced login bit has got to destroy any kind of "discovering music-art-things online" vibe.

Personally I have been thinking of setting up a Tumblr or a self hosted clone to just post soundcloud embeds and maybe some animated visuals every once and a while.

OK, I got inspired by this thread and set up a tumblr for our livestreaming project with @TubularCorporation. I wonder if it will embed in a cool way.

Only once. To contact someone and give them a piece of my mind. Never bothered to read his reply. Fuck him.

Thats enough for me. Not even BOC will get me on there. It’s from what I’ve been told a cesspit. Watmm is the only social media thing I’ve ever been bothered with. Sorry about that

That double negative isn't not giving my head problems though.

instagram is even worse in that regard. 

nobody's on twitter. absolutely no one. it's a ghost town.

... we can hopefully say, some day.

Looks like my Titter account dates back to May 2009. Mainly use it to follow certain Vtubers, and even then I check only occasionally. Not like anybody's gonna notice what I post.
