Off Topic Social Media and the death of Twitter

I blocked Musk as soon as I went on there!

I’m on but haven’t posted for ages and Bluesky City is a good place (apart from the actual club)

 

Any tips on who to follow Den? I've been on Bluesky for a while but don't recall ever seeing any City stuff on there.

 

Someone made a "starter pack" of over 100 City fans to follow:

Have a check of Alan Hemingway. https://bsky.app/profile/alanacct.bsky.social
Look through his posts. He regularly posts a HCAFC ‘starter pack’ so you can follow everyone in one go

 

That’s what I was trying to direct towards, cheers

 

Just had a proper look now. That’s brilliant, thank you

 

it's still true

 

There used to be apps that would tell you when the accounts you followed were last active and you could unfollow them if you wanted to
Twitter increased their prices for developers to access their engine so the apps either went out of business, changed focus or increased their prices

 

You can cut ads or not have any ads if you pay to use twitter

 

Who on earth is paying to use Twitter.

 

Space Karen is getting none of my hard earned.

 

Aye.
There’s a much easier way of making sure you don’t see ads on Twitter…

 

just have a look
plenty are paying to use twitter

 

Roughly 0.2% of users pay to use it

 

Twitter has 335 million active users
so thats 670,000
a not insignificant number

I would pay if I used twitter enough

Why would you pay?

 

That's the definition of an insignificant number. 670k of 335m.

As a number of total users maybe, but it’s generating between £25M and £140M additional revenue per year depending on which tier people are paying for.

Not bad for something you can still get for free.
