@w7voa 😂😂😂
I took al peep at my old account there and 99% of all relevant accounts had lost their blue check marks.
My overwhelming reaction to any news of Twitter is "So die already. Please." But I am unable to recall any significant positive value I received from Twitter during the decade plus I was using it. I don't think it's just selective memory, though it is extremely easy for me to recall wasted time involving Twitter.
Twitter suits some folks, but the most prominent such folks don't suit me. TFG is merely the poster child.
Important lessons learned from or via Twitter? ROFLMAO. 😆
@shanen @w7voa It is a horrible site now, but I managed to learn more about autism from other autistic people on there than I ever learned from non-autistic people throughout my whole life.
Twitter was and still is a lifeline for many disabled, chronically ill and mentally ill people. It was a great way to speak out against the discrimination we have lived with all our lives. Some people took it too far, but that was just a loud minority of us.
But someone had to ruin that..
I see that as an argument for more choice. In your example, the disabled people need better options than Twitter.
In contrast, Twitter's rationale for existing is some mix of "first choice" and "good enough". The network effect is especially crucial for a first-mover that is capturing a niche, and in this (sad) case it created the ridiculous market cap and attracted the newest wannabe vulture capitalist, AKA Elon Musk.
"Please, Twitter! Just die already!"
Elmo the Genius is going to require advertisers to have a checkmark, so people will be blocking ads.
Easiest Ad-blocker ever.
