i used to like twitter but I now realise it’s not a slice of the population but actually the most extremes of any position. things that a problematic for 99% of the twitter population aren’t even on the radar of 99% of the rest of the population. your life is so much better if you don’t get involved

echi, im sorry man but that's the problem. fascism, climate crisis, poverty, racial disparity are all huge topics on there and you're right, they're not on most people's radar cause "i didn't vote for trump, i recycle, i give to charity, i have a black friend" when that poo poo doesn't matter at all and massive systematic change is what's necessary but no one wants to loving listen

twitter is a radicalisation engine as a service. it's "free" but you pay with your sanity.

i can agree on the problem, does twitter solve any part of it though? seems to largely amount to screaming into the void as a service.

actual question though, never read twitter outside of the occasional embed here.

it's not 100% void screams. there's still discussion, organizing, information being passed around. as lovely as twitter management is there needs to be some kind of service for citizen-organized distribution of media and unfortunately twitter is it currently. it should absolutely be government run tho (under an actual government, not the current us one)
