    Why don’t people just stop caring about whatever the fuck is going on at Twitter/X? I consider it in the same realm as truthsocial or OANN comment sections. Sure, musky had enough money to buy a platform, but that platform is elevated by it’s users. If people just stopped doing that, it would be irrelevant. Literally nothing important has happened on twitter, ever. We don’t need it. Just discard it and let it wither in the dark.

      Because whatever the fuck is going on at Twitter impacts the world. Like it or not, Twitter still contains and controls an enormous amount of public discourse.

        To add to this, every politician, journalist, and influencer is on Twitter, so even if a majority of people don’t use it or post on it, the platform is a hub for ideas and real-time news.
