If Twitter shut down tomorrow, the world would be a better place, and nothing of great value would be lost. I'm not sure if I can be convinced otherwise.

- Zababa 6y agoI mainly use twitter to talk/catch up with a few friends, and follow a few things I care about. I honestly don't know how many people use twitter this way but for me it's really enjoyable, especially since the "desactivate retweets" feature for this friend that can't stop retweeting shitstorms. It's not perfect, and sometimes outside events that I don't want to hear about leak into my timeline, but it's a bit like small talk, sometimes people will talk about things that you don't care about. I wouldn't call this "great value" but I've never used facebook or others social networks so it's nice to see how some friends are doing. I encourage everyone to be very aggressive with muting/desactivating retweets/having a private account/not quote-retweeting/not react to everything that happens in the world in general, this way it's possible to not expose yourself too much hate.
- paulodeon 6y agoYou're following the wrong people my friend.
- refenestrator 6y agoEven if I stay clear of it (and I do), the daily episodes of frothing seep into our culture and cause problems.
- kokanator 6y agoI wish there were a way to measure the net result of Jack and friends on our culture and world. A deep inclination ( just anecdotal ) leads me to believe it would be a far negative balance. The human, cultural and monetary cost of polarizing national and world events which find their origins, planning, fomenting on twitter have to be staggering.
