There are lots of interesting group accounts you can follow on here, they work like this:

1. Follow a group's account to see discussion of its topic
2. @ the account if you want to post to the group
3. The account boosts anything @-ed to it, be careful when you @ them so that you don't spam the group (spammers tend to be reported and blocked)

Would you miss Twitter if it were gone? What would you say at Twitter’s funeral?

We are researchers at University of Colorado Boulder conducting a survey about how people think about the role of Twitter in their lives, given recent changes to the platform. If you are at least 18 years old and a current or former user of Twitter, we’d love to hear from you!

Air raid sirens were heard across the city as Biden and Zelensky left the church. Uniformed Ukrainian military officers lined the street just outside.
