Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun

Twitter has destroyed public discourse. It has turned conversations into contents to be as short and as edgy as possible.

I’m sorry you don’t see that.

Hey, that sounds like the mainstream press!

Do you even use Twitter?

You can find a lot of very deep, long-form content. I'd recommend following Samo Burja or Doomberg for example.

Is that really Twitter's fault? Please go through this thread right here and see how many of the comments would fit in a tweet. Many of them also match (or exceed) the Twitter standard for lack of basic humanity. The appetite was there. If Twitter hadn't provided the outlet, some essentially identical alternative would have. It's quite likely that some other will do the same after Musk finishes driving Twitter into the ground.

The platform isn't the problem. The people using whatever platform they can find to spread an anti-democratic anti-intellectual anti-humanitarian message are. I'm sorry you don't want to see that.

153 characters, in response to a message 152 characters in length. Did these shorter-than-twitter lengths destroy this discourse?
