Xitter is loosing users too. So where are people going? Threads?

Or is the format becoming less relevant?

»TikTok« aka vertical short video. Even Loops is growing! - But yes, also Threads, Reddit etc.

I’ve heard so many stories like mine of people like me getting permanently banned from Reddit. It’s a real bummer bc I truly enjoyed being able to find a wide range of discourse. I’m surprised/disappointed I haven’t figured out a long term workaround yet.

getting purged early last year and trying to get new accounts was extremely difficult they seem to have laid off on the intese purges. someone confirmed that you can make another acc after a while(you would be careful not to use the same browser ,ip)

Thanks for the tip! So if I typically use Safari on my phone, then there’s a decent chance that using chrome on my phone will be effective? This would be surprising to me because I’ve always thought they simply use the IP address to connect accounts…
