I've been using Twitter for something like 12 years now. I can count on one hand the number of actual positive interactions I've had in the last couple years. I'm my experience you can't even ask people mildly pointed questions anymore without getting blocked. You can't even try to start a conversation anymore. It's just person makes grand sweeping statment. You cheer them on, ignore them, or get blocked. It's not a healthy environment. It's just grandstanding. It used to feel really democratizing, anyone could comment on anything. Now between people only allowing people they follow to reply and the percentage of harmless to innate comments that get hidden behind "Show additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content" it really doesn't feel like it once was. In their attempts to make it more "friendly", they both made it less friendly and killed the value proposition. It's just a place to build a cult of personality these days.
