I've got a weak conspiracy theory that Twitter has to take drastic action like this because they're not relevant anymore. I don't know a single person who uses Twitter. I don't know that there's a single proprietary thing about their platform that Parler/Gab couldn't copy. I don't know anyone who thinks Twitter is well-designed.

If they aren't centered in the news like they are constantly, I'm not sure that they wouldn't just fade away to competitors.

Really?

This is uncalled for. Pointing out Twitter's political bias on a technology forum is relevant, whether you agree with the comment or not.

It's a bit silly to link directly to something that doesn't support your claims. You'd be more persuasive by having no links at all.
