Twitter as a venue for influencers to yell at brands and for brands to make risque jokes and for people to have hot takes? Good riddance
Twitter as a venue to allow the people being directly impacted by oppressive regimes, ethnic cleansing, and natural disasters to speak directly to the world? That is very much something that will be missed. My hope is that that would migrate to Mastodon (which would have a lot of benefits) but there is nothing quite so ubiquitous and “simple” that still allows the people being erased by brutal regimes to have a voice.
Yes. That is the nature of an open platform. If you can find a way to keep the bad people off while not preventing the good people from having a choice, the world would love to hear it.
Yep was a great way to reach politicians and people could hsve direct effect on companies. Because when people took their complaints to Twitter it got shit fixed quick.
Elon saw all this people joke but his goal from day one was to destroy the platform and render it useless for us small folk.
Because at one time it was a powerful tool we could of used to organize and get shit done.
Strongly disagree

Twitter has played a large role in supporting said regimes.
