I remember when Musk and Yaccarino said they were instituting “his desire for users to have "un-regretted time" on the platform” as a major KPI and then users spent 70% of their time identifying, muting & blocking Russian & Chinese bots. Plus the allowing of blatant Nazi, racism & sexist garbage.

wait did they really say they're aiming for "un-regretted time"? Because I'm pretty sure regretted time is at least 50% (and probably more) of the time people spend on social media. Like, it's around 75% for me (it's an addiction).

My final straw on twt was seeing a post with some silly interiors from zillow and the top replies were pushing replacement theory. Even the most harmless posts were just getting overrun

This USED to be the whole point of social media! Facebook used to run commercials about it!

Right. I’m mostly here to dish about dogs, which became impossible on the old site.

Twitter is like the Nazi version of a sewing circle.

Yes, and residents also tend to prefer living next to others from the same socio-economic and ethnocultural background. Do you think a society where it encourages this kind of segregation would be conductive of a healthy society?

Is "looking for community" another way to say "go to public therapy?"

I went to Twitter because I thought it was a birding site. THEN it became X, and I thought, "GREAT, free porn". Not so much, but plenty of X-rated language.. THEN, Musk came back, and NOW, PORN!!
