This is a new internet diaspora that feels far worse than Tumblr. Twitter was something integral to the communication system of millions. I am in mourning. It may sound stupid, but I have to take the time to sit with the loss of a once vital communication system.
@frazzledwriter Twitter was how I kept up to date with the news. It was how I followed the pandemic and elections and natural disasters. It was better than not knowing, and now I feel like I have to go back to not knowing. I have news subscriptions that I read too, but it’s not the same.
@zoestertoaster @frazzledwriter We can do a lot with RSS feeds, but the #TwitterFuneral feeling is real.
