If this stops every political threads then I’m all for it. It’s weird to me how people were so into it and I had a few friends who became tough to talk to because it was always trying to convey some esoteric (to me) twitter screaming match.

This doesn’t seem like a loss to me as I feel that kind of stuff isn’t only boring to me but kind of worse to have people so angry about politics. So this seems like a positive development to me if it’s now clearly just a right-wing echo chamber that people can now ignore.

I’m not a heavy user and haven’t noticed any changes really, but I never interacted with blue check mark people and always thought it was kind of a lame feature. And is still lame that people can pay for it.
