I just.. I could never comprehend twitter (or Mastadon, or bluesky for that matter).

The whole structure of the conversation feel like people shouting into an open auditorium. And everyone is shouting at once.

I just do not see the appeal.

Seems to me like you comprehend it perfectly!

I also never really saw the appeal. And I closed the account I'd barely used since 2007 (When it was primarily for announcing you were pooping and Lifehacker told me you could make lists with remember the milk) when the first buddy bought it.

I occasionally tried to use it for getting near real time news about things, but I guess I sucked at following the right people.

Now, with privacy badger, I never have to interact even when sites embed xits (if we're going with xitter, then it's full of xits, right?).
