Maybe Twitter's dead, maybe it's not. It doesn't really matter. We've learned that we don't need it to connect with our communities and so, much like the goblin king, it has no power over us.
@theropologist I don't know hot it will play out. Maybe it will be a place for people to talk with occasional interjections from far-right or far-left antagonists, allowing users to tell themselves that people who disagree with them are insane jerks. Maybe there's a market for that service. I don't want it, but I'm honesty happy if that helps people blow off steam and makes money for being a good place to advertise.
