I’ve been there since 2014 and if I wasn’t aware of the constant whining about how bad twitter is on other sites but twitter I wouldn’t know anything has changed. For me it’s the same it has always been. It’s also the only platform where I have any kind of following so I don’t just leave like I did from reddit.
So the bottom half of any twitter comment thread has ALWAYS been crypto scammers, gofundme scammers, bots hawking t shirts and maga chuds responding off topic?
I hate how lemmy users are like Redditors and downvote any information contrary to what they want to see
I was thinking the same. There’s one person being honest about why they use Twitter - in a thread asking about why it’s still used - and the only thing people can do here is downvoting him? It’s sad.
Servers are not isolated from each other, people participate in communities regardless of the server they have their account on, that’s how the federation works.
Tho if by “server” you actually mean “community” then yes, each community can have its own “culture” like different subs on reddit did.
Unless a server is defederated. Try viewing from beehaw.org for example. You’ll have a more curated, and some would argue, less toxic experience. I have accounts on multiple servers and swap between them depending on my desired browsing experience. And though lemmyworld has a huge amount of content the quality of the discussion often reminds me of what you’d find on Reddit all.

A following?
Like Jesus?
I doubt Jesus shared pictures of himself dressed in girls clothes, but other than that yeah kinda like Jesus.

I have no idea. I don’t read twitter threads
That’s so interesting, our Twitter consumption habits are really different. What do you use Twitter for? Just sending out updates to your followers?

It’s not all users, it’s the server culture. Try a different server and you’ll see a different user culture.

I know of beehaw defederating from a lot of instances, that doesn’t make them isolated tho, there are still a lot of instances they’re federated with.
