Scott ShapiroSo comical when people on Twitter saying “Don’t leave—We need to fight and win the war.” Dude, you’re just tweeting ffs.
tom4okstate@scottjshapiro also, notably, I don't recall anyone saying that about Facebook, Snapchat, or parler or any of the host of other social media platforms that no one seems to give a s*** about in this moment. They're all pretty much disposable once they've outlived their usefulness.
Jack Jackson@tom4okstate I think it's fair to say that users of Twitter developed more of a "sense of place" than any of those others - a feeling of a shared community, ethos, culture. Those things *are* exportable, but it's understandable to feel nostalgia for them and to want to preserve them in the "place" where they arose.
@scubbo That's probably a fair assessment. But I think like a lot of other dying public spaces in America, people will increasingly realize it's not coming back and at that point, fewer and fewer will hold out.
