> As I said, it’s basically on every post, even a non-political post like announcing that a new Twitter CEO has been chosen.

OK I think I understand what you're saying - every discussion turns political? Twitter has been that way since 2015. It's the world's public square. Only difference is people are allowed to disagree with Californian liberals.

It’s not the worlds public square.

It’s a gladiatorial arena (maybe WWE/performance art would be an even better metaphor) for the US culture wars. If they could please get it over with soon so we can return to normal programming, that would be great

Yep that too. I’ve said twitter is a MOBA and it’s always been that way. I once spent an awful morning having Jake Archibald and his 40K followers abuse me because I didn’t like the ’fetch’ spec.
