Twitter seems to have some unique properties, especially for users that don't have many followers. It feels like you have friends even if you don't know them at all. On other platforms it's way more one-sided, more passive. Something about the way twitter works makes you think you belong to the groups you share interests with - but most of the time it's just a false feeling. I know several people that are glued to twitter, 50k+ tweets and more (for some reason they have mostly niche interests) thinking they belong and have friends, not realizing how toxic it actually is for their mental health. Something about twitters formula works very well for certain kinds of personalities, but what is it?
