Looks like Twitter is just easy to bash nowadays, I'm not that a big user but I see, especially in the OSS / computer related profiles a lot of people putting their Mastodon address in the nickname and yet still tweeting, retweeting, liking in the same compulsory manner as they did before.
Most of them don't like Mastodon either due to not liking defederation drama, but instead they moved their socializing to Discord and Instagram, with a few chomping at the bit to get into BlueSky.
For what it's worth, this is a trend I observed long before Twitter introduced rate-limiting and the login gate. Ironically, clicking through on Twitter links other people posted was the one use case I ever visited the site for, and now that that doesn't work I simply rely on the vxtwitter summary or a screenshot.
But now they blocked checking things when not logged in, inertia has set in and I cannot even bothered to make the effort and don't feel like I've lost anything. Even for those accounts I followed.
I just think of paid blue checks spouting off nonsense while paying to do so and think to myself: "No ... that's not the bullshit I want to consume. I preferred the relatively democratic bullshit from before"
... and then I think: "Let's just cut the bullshit"
It is a shame, as it was entertaining.
