@macroliter It is, because Twitter's global audience is big enough that it's able to reach almost every country and be USEFUL in MANY ways to people without easy access to vital information.

Which is why #EvilRich scumbags like Musk are buying up such platforms to destroy or twist them to their own ends.

Alternatives like Mastodon are great, but are siloed, which cuts down on their instanews usefulness.

@alexandrad1 it's shocking, but as I've said for years, the #EvilRich don't operate on the same level of reality as the 99%:

"In less than a month, Musk has bulldozed more than a decade’s worth of efforts to establish moderation systems—however imperfect—that serve to both block damaging speech and boost healthy discourse on the platform. He has put on an absolute master class in mismanagement, and tweeted through it all the while."

Yet, I still hope for sanity.

Twitter Is Being Destroyed by One of Its Worst Main Characters

Elon Musk bought Twitter in late October. Since then, he’s bulldozed the platform’s regulatory features, allowed hate speech to fester, and let most of the company’s staff go. What comes next?

Indeed.

The #TwitterTakeover by @[email protected] is the perfect example of how the #EvilRich run the world via #capitalism: there's few checks on their excesses, and they care little about solving the #ClimateCrisis.

We need #PeopleNotProfit as the #1 priority for #SystemChange, ASAP. https://t.co/tYuLLJCUZn
