MODERATORS
Twitter in general is a hellscape. It's basically an anti-discussion, anti-solidarity machine where all communication is forced to take the form of reductive shitposts. I use it still because news does travel fast there, but yikes.
100%. The character limit alone makes it impossible for real discussion to happen, and has helped create a platform that’s mostly people trying to out oh-so-clever-quip each other from a detached, insincere and isolated place.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s mostly just good for A) like you touched on, getting news fast (and in the case of left Twitter, outside the framing of msm) and B) having some good quick yuks reading Weird Twitter accounts. But those two small components aren’t really separable from the 90 percent of it that’s awful.
