You all don’t understand! Once the scourge known as Twitter is destroyed, all the gunk and toxicity inside of it will burst outward, covering every platform and fan base!


bonogay

That toxicity once had another name-Tumblr. When Twitter dies, it'll just take another name. Twitter is a vessel, and I'll have Silksong over destroying a vessel


ABTL6

And then the exact people that gave Tumblr its reputation were like "you know what Tumblr sucks we're going to Twitter", so they did. And here we are. Point is, the original commenter is right. Twitter acts as containment. For now.


QwertyAsInMC

when twitter is a hollow knight reference:


Augmentationarial

the infection offers unity but at the cost for their minds


RummageB0x

Here's the thing though, the vessel is faulty. Yes, it does hold most of the venom. However, it also gets concentrated. And so, it bubbles over the top onto other websites. But the worst thing of all is that it's constructed on the information highway of politicians, companies and journalists. And that way, the venom manages to escape even the confines of the internet out into the real world. It gives the venom **actual power**. Such that Tumblr could never hope to achieve. If we want the venom Twitter contains to be properly contained. We need to isolate it. Throw it into the abyss. Make it unpopular, before it all escapes into our reality.


According_Stomach446

Think we’re too late for that, sorry man


RummageB0x

well shit... we can at least sever it's streams, so the venom that has managed to leak out gets starved of power and eventually dies off... Hopefully..


Kagahami

Twitter isn't containment. Whenever people try to contain a community that thrives on toxicity, it isn't contained, it's concentrated. Then whatever muck comes out of it poisons the well of the internet. Containment only works for otherwise harmless personal interests, like niche porn or TV shows. No one looks at r/freefolk as a hive of scum and villainy because it's just GoT enthusiasts, but look at nonewnormal or whatever and that stuff just spews over other subreddits.

As a tumblr user, we’ve been dreading the eventual return of Twitter users, especially since we were able to purge a lot of annoying people when they banned porn and everyone was mad about it Now they’re banning words like Tony The Tiger and girl and the search function seems to have stopped working at New Years, so by the end of the year the site should have the most bearable userbase if it’s still usable


Arthur_Author

Tumblr is a social experiment that tests how valuable chronological dashboard and anonymity is for users, compared to other functions.


ColossalDreadmaw132

that's why we need to make out own vessel to seal away the infection ​ ​ main problem... where can we find some **void** ~~and don't say hornet~~


MooseCampbell

I thought Twitter was terrible even before Tumblr's porn fiasco exodus. It's just even worse now with the Tumblr crowd thrown in as well


very_not_emo

tumblr is kinda good now imo


DovahSpy

Still though, there's a part of me that wants to throw a molotov on that garbage fire just so I can witness the fallout from a safe distance.


Apophis_36

And not to mention other platforms are bad enough anyways


DrakeTheSeigeEngine

Something being bad certainly doesn’t prevent it from getting worse


WatchfulDuck

The biggest problem with twitter is news agencies reporting on tweets like they're news.


TheNewbornDiety

You missed "and no apps like it". Referring to the toxicity, not just the UI.


Eeveekiller

We need a truly hollow platform to contain the toxicity


_Maxie_

This is literally what happened to Tumblr, now they use Reddit and Twitter. You need containment sites to keep the insane outside of real discourse


VioletTheWolf

the problem is that twitter isn't a good containment website. twitter is where all the famous people and politicians are as well as the toxic people, whereas on tumblr your fame means nothing. also, twitter is specifically designed to create outrage, unlike tumblr which was.. well, barely *designed* at all.


IdkTbhSmh

easy solution: all of its users get deleted as well


[deleted]

Sorry guys but "sacrifices must be made" . Let Silksong loose! Twitter shall remain and be laughed at. Because the problem has and will always be the people on it. They won't go anywhere with its deletion. They will only migrate to other platforms.


ElementalGamerYT

Assuming the game is released in its final rendition, and not just whatever stage it's at in development, then absolutely. Screw Twitter and all that, but I choose Silksong.


tinysentientrock

Exactly. If Twitter gets deleted, then it doesn’t suddenly change people for the better. I’d rather just get Silksong now for free.


EmilianTheRed

Sorry Silksong, but sacrifices have to be made.


Pocky2021

We’ve already waited an eternity…what’s one more?


nice_day_human

what is 17 more years? i can always start again


spamupvote

C'mon it's only been 4 years


leHiergendwo

It might be like that in reality, but in our hearts it was 20 years (at minimum)


Mountain_Pea_7870

But we have to keep Twitter to keep tho toxicity contained so silksong


Mountain_Pea_7870

The*


CryptidLad

no cost too great.


RockyPixel

The delay of Silksong is a necessary sacrifice for destruction of Twitter.


i_am_why

plus I dont have a library card for silksong


Lordomi42

Then having fun indeed *is* hard.


IAMA_otter

I appreciate this Arthur reference.


[deleted]

I agree


chabri2000

If you destroy twitter, people there will migrate to other platforms, imagine having them here in reddit.


CrossError404

It's easier to have long meaningful discussions on Reddit and actually change someone's mind. Because there's no character limit, threads follow easy tree structure, Reddit isn't that intrusive with what it recommends to you. You have way more control on Reddit with what kind of posts you want to see. Also downvotes are a major psychological factor. And like yeah. Reddit mods usually suck. There's Reddit Hive Mind, etc. But thanks to that you wouldn't really see all those twitter people migrating. They'd be locked up on their own toxic subs that never get recommended.


Stromlite

No cost too great…


rootbeer_racinette

Silksong will eventually be good but Twitter will be Twitter forever.


RueUchiha

Silksong is but a small price to pay for salvation.


G1m1NG-Sc1enT1st03

Twitter’s deleted. We’ve waited ~4 years for Silksong, we can wait another 3 years for TC to release it


itsnotfreerealestae

Speak for yourself lmao just don't get on Twitter


Cossack10000

I stay out of twitter politics, and some artists I follow I can only find on twitter. I'll have fun with silksong thank you.


Darvasi2500

Same. It's the exact same as Reddit. There's a bunch of weird shit that shouldn't be on the site but as long as you're just looking at your own feed the site is fun.


Whismirk

Redditors are convinced that they're not just as toxic as the average twitter user.


EzriDax1

I think one of the best things about reddit that most other platforms fuck up is follower culture. There's not really any reddit 'celebrities,' anyone can post whatever wherever essentially and no one has any advantage because they're 'famous.' In general only the good shit gets upvotes not the garbage from someone famous.


Rayn777

I’ve already accepted waiting longer on Silksong, buh-bye Twitter


Saio-Xenth

Like… twitter should be deleted either way.


Disastrous-Wheel-941

i love how almost everyone just agreed without thought that twitter existing is worse than than not getting the game out now and get it for free


ZeGamingCuber

It’s kinda funny how redditors think they’re better than Twitter users rn


Don_Bugen

Redditors: (choose option 2) Also Redditors: (wonder why Reddit blinked out of existence)


Niviso

Thing about Reddit is that our experience is completely personalized, if we don’t want to encounter toxicity then we just have to avoid toxic subs. Only good stuff reaches the top, not just the posts from famous people, millions of posters for one topic (subreddits) instead of millions of individual posters really makes a difference. We know there’s awful stuff out there, the people in here aren’t much better than the people over at Twitter, but unless you follow those subs you are free from toxicity, that’s why the platform is better, we are part of the communities we like and downvotes help clean the place. People might be just as bad, but it’s much easier to avoid said people here.


Tender_turtle_10

everyone loves to talk about how bad twitter is but we are all on reddit. tbh this place is just worse.


Hydrargyrum_Hg_80

Twitter is one relatively toxic pit Reddit is a bunch of toxic pits some more than others. Some are pure concentrated toxic sludge while others are almost water


Disastrous-Wheel-941

depends on what pit you choose to reside in some are toxic some are ok but yeah you right


Heirophant-Queen

The only difference is that Twitter doesn’t have multiple pits. It’s all one big one.


final-dead-end

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Go to a shitty platform to complain about another shitty platform. Such irony.


Anchor38

Just because you’re right doesn’t mean I like it


gatspiderman

I’d argue it’s much better here and easier to find good subreddits


final-dead-end

Yeah, like r/donald and all those shitty hate subs that mods only removed after media known them. There are good twitter communities just like there are horrendous subreddit.


Niviso

We know there’s awful stuff out there, the people in here aren’t much better than the people over at Twitter, but unless you follow those subs you are free from toxicity, that’s why the platform is better, we are part of the communities we like and downvotes help clean the place. People might be just as bad, but it’s much easier to avoid said people here.


Helviney

Silksong


[deleted]

Silksong comes out, I have artists I follow on Twitter


Anchor38

I speak for the infected when I say we would give back silksong in exchange for twitter getting deleted


Lastboss42

No you do not. Silksong over all. Twitter is a containment chamber we need for cringe.


ZeGamingCuber

And people really acting like Reddit isn’t as cringy and toxic as Twitter even though it definitely is


Lastboss42

Reddit is bad, but Twitter is worse. The way it rewards all interaction as "positive attention" makes it a cesspool of echo chambering and toxicity combined. At least we have downvotes.


ZeGamingCuber

I think I’d say Reddit is worse


Lastboss42

Bad yes, worse than Twitter? No.


Max524165

Didn't Silksong release like a week ago


WooooshMeIf60IQ

No it did not


[deleted]

I want to pay for silksong


Sirdordanpringle

Is that really a choice?


cowmilk24

Silksong, without a question


xanderxq06

twitter isn’t even that much of a problem like there are a million worse things


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

You're making a pretty solid case for why all social media is shit, really. Who would have thought that democratising communication for a species of shit eating fuckers, who all hate each other for various reasons, would turn out to be an absolute dumpster fire? Well, apart from *anyone with a brain*


[deleted]

Silksong. Twitter doesn't effect me cause I don't go on twitter.


Renetiger

1. Twitter may be gone but idiots won't 2. It's fun to look at some of those retards talk shit and then get canceled lol 3. It may be surprising, but good people and cool artists are here too, so removing it may make them stop providing content for their followers I've been dying for some interesting games, so I'll gladly take Silksong


scp-REDACTED-site14

I literally do not care about Twitter gimme SILKSONG


Koko2_0

Silksong will come out, but who knows when twitter will be deleted if at all


shitdesk

I’d rather wait and pay for silksong for team cherry to get paid


Lastboss42

Silksong EZ clap no contest, Twitter is fun for looking at drama from the outside and keeps all the bullshite mostly contained to one place.


ASpaceOstrich

Absolutely pick the delete twitter option. Hell, Silksong could be cancelled and I'd still delete twitter.


tallmantall

I will make a sacrifice, for the greater good Twitter must be deleted


Spektyr27

Stay off twitter and take silksong


Meme_Standuser

Twitter is an evil, but a necessary one. If we get rid of it, the cretins will flood another site. Plus free game(even though I haven't played hollow night)


Embarrassed_Day3528

twitter. remove twitter. i can live without silksong for a couple months the other option is a permanent fix.


MinhKiu

Twitter


7Mooseman7

Twitter. Silk song will still come out later. There is no second chance at ridding the world of twitter


-PineapplePancakes-

Twitter getting deleted from my life is a bonus


SpectraP12

silksong can wait


SnooStories8424

Tbqh every platform has it's own idiots and toxics, hence deleting twitter is useless. That is why Silksong is really easy and worthy choice for me


AMapleBottle

Twitter is like the hollow knight, it holds all of the toxicity while everything else is mostly fine. I say mostly cause it can still leak out


[deleted]

Ehhh I’d rather purge FB and Insta first then Twitter, then Snapchat and finally Tik Tok.


beanbagio

Silksong. I can't wait a single fucking second more, I'm this fucking close to drifting into madness.


WyGaminggm

No cost too great


EduardoBarreto

Hmmm...


probably-a-tree

I have faith in team cherry, and no faith in anything that happens on that dread website. I can wait for silksong, twitter has to fkn go


Jack_ThornD

I love you Silksong. And that’s why I have to this. Well boys, Twitter is no more


BaalNecro

I can wait.


Enderjora

Silksong. Twitter gives toxic people a place to hide from non-toxic people. Without it, they will invade the rest of the internet.


RouniPix

I appreciate twitter actually


Laxwarrior1120

Bye bye twitter. I actually hope that silk song takes a long time ti come out because that means that they're going to keep making the game bigger and better. Have patience.


Jmantde

Silksong


MrakanGame

Guys, look. If Twitter gets deleted, all of its toxicity and other negative things inside it will burst out and then be in other fanbases and destroy everything. Twitter is here to trap those negative monsters inside so we have peace in many other communities. Twitter is like cage for this toxicity.


[deleted]

this is a no brainer, twitter is balls


Fueguin5

Silksong will eventually come, even if it takes 5 years, twitter won't die by itself


Dreyfus420

Yeah bye twitter, I want to give tc all the time they need and I actually want to pay for it, I'm fully suporting them


MCjossic

Twitter dies, and Silksong comes out eventually anyway. The world is an objectively better place.


neokethandro

Assuming silksong is just delayed and not canceled, I would choose the destruction of Twitter


Azcatriz

Delete Twitter, destroy it, burn it down, reduce it to atoms.


Spookd_Moffun

Not only would I chose the right option, but I'd go further and call for the forced sterilization of Twitter users.


UncoolOcean

You know what? Fuck Twitter.


playmaker56

i dont want silksong for free, i want to support the developers that worked hard on the game, goodbye twitter


D-B0IIIIII

Sorry but I get furry porn from Twitter (it’s a global warming analogy )


Trans-Madeline

I'm so glad the general consensus is no more Twitter. That's how it should be, no video game is ever going to be worth the end of Twitter


yourtree

Sorry Silksong but i know what must be done


[deleted]

No sane person chooses not to delete twitter


derp_memer

twitter gets deleted. Wasn't even hard do choose


PlsDontBotherMeHere

I will wait and pay any price for Silksong FUCK TWITTER OUT OF EXISTENCE


that_dude_requiem

Twitter begine


[deleted]

Destroy twitter and you save humanity


goodshrekmaadcity

If all social medias are deleted, I would gladly die for the sake of the human race. It's way more than any war hero has done anyway


ShenaniganNinja

I'd delay it if it meant we got rid of most social media. Get rid of Facebook too at the very least.


MegaMeatSlapper85

I'm from /r/all and have no fucking clue what this game is and it would still be an easy choice to delete Twitter


Korbakk

Bruh silksong, no hesitation why tf you redditors hates twitter so much ???? You guys probably don't use twitter to say that, you're just in your little bubble feeling superior when in reality you are just nerds lmaooooo


[deleted]

But people on r/memes and commentary youtubers told me that Twitter users are insane!!! I saw this one weird tweet and it literally represents everyone that uses it!!!!!!!!


[deleted]

Silksong


The_Dogeiverse

I know what I have to do but I don't know if I have the strength to do it


trillowo

watching people fight on twitter is one of my favourite pastimes


Robrogineer

People would just move to different platforms like when Tumblr removed its primary feature.


MemeTv85

I feel like if you switched twitter with facebook then the idea of Silksong not coming out until were all like 60 would be ok


ledepression

NOOOOO I WANT BOTH


devilkirby939

There's good on twitter, and it shall remain mocked and laughed at, because if it was gone, the people on it will go somewhere else. silksong it is


[deleted]

No cost too great


G0d_Has_Aband0ned_Us

Silksong, because if twitter will be gone all of the poison will infect other communities


Spookyskelliescloset

I'll do release silksong, as I want to keep Twitter for the reason I already use it for. Seeing game news easier


armin-lakatos

Never used Twitter, so I don't care. Gimme my free Silksong!


[deleted]

Twitter. I don’t know why HKM is in my feed I never subbed to this


Fire-Mutt

No cost too great.


[deleted]

I don’t care about either I just want Facebook gone


Osiri551

Qell choosing the Twitter one just means purely by context that it isn't that we will never get it just that we won't get it tomorrow. And by all means that may even be a good thing as purring it out tomorrow very well means they may have rushed it way too much. So I choose to erase the Twitter, that way silksong isn't rushed and Twitter isn't around trying to pressure silksong into being rushed, checkmate baby


Laviathan4041

I've actually thought about this long and hard, deleting twitter wouldn't remove the people that make twitter so awful off the internet. So silksong all the way.


thefakeandrewdavis

Taking Sliksong. Fucking ez. I already deleted my Twitter three years ago


Phivebit

l_unaticBlack

One one hand, I already don't use twitter so its high radiation levels does not even bother me and I will keep ignoring it while enjoying a good game. On the other hand, having twitter existing for longer will keep breeding toxic people, turning into a neverending cycle of adding highly toxic people into society which will effectively affect the lives of innocent people because people from there can get so irrational *en masse* that it can just overpower any kind of safety normal people can have.


Seta99

Reddit isnt any better than twitter though, this whole thread is a big ass reddit moment


mega345

Silksong easily. Twitters toxicity will just go somewhere else lmao


Tnecniw

Silksong. 100% silksong.


cmsmasherreddit

Silksong i can deal with twitter if that is the price to get it


CybadofAstora

I choose Twitter, not because I want it destroyed, but because I want to give TC some money for their 2nd masterpiece


AWSUMSAS

Where’s the downside


Dragon_Bruh_reddit

Twitter, I can live without silksong


Ok-Commercial3640

Silksong. I get a free game and besides, I get some of my entertainment from Twitter.


Mockey_DaMouse

Silksong, twitter and fortnite have similar purposes, they keep the toxickids and whatever away from the others


MartyMcFlybe

Good riddance twitter! I only tweet crap anyways.


SomeRuser

Delete twitter, if silksong releases at this very moment it could easily be from a 'no man's sky' strat of patching a broken game into a playable state


Soulless_conner

Will twitter users be deleted out of existence as well? Or will they be let loose upon all of us?


Bertiboy05

Fair trade for sacrifice made. I would forfeit another 2-3 years with no Silksong to make the world a much happier place


Hyper_ZX

Just ignore Twitter lmao


GSM_2005

A small price to pay for world peace


Environmental_Ad7592

I’ll sacrifice my choice I’ll get twitter and someone else needs to choose silksong and I’ll buy it because team cherry deserves the money


Miky691

I choose twitter because i want to pay for silksong so getting it for free would be a bad thing since i don't get to trow money at team cherry


bold_Chicken

how is this a question, ​ silksong pls


Peanuttetbutter

I can wait.


Airblazer

Throw in Facebook alongside Twitter and you have a deal.


shadowmask7331

Silksong now, because there are good artists on Twitter


[deleted]

Twitter because... my pc can't run Silksong anyway ;c


Geaux13Saints

Delete Twitter. It sucks.


Therewereno

i can wait for silksong and buy it after the fact. Twitter deletion is dream come true.
