This is a good way to put it. Twitter has a nasty habit of pushing politics on your feed no matter how many times you tell it not to. Digital nukes to clean up silicon valley's BS seems appropiate to wrest back some control. I can think and discuss politics on better platforms where the conversation works better. Twitter is too brief, useful for bird pics and science annoucements. Not for nuanced political essays.

"Twitter" doesn't do that, that's what Twitter is. It's become a platform for elites to virtue signal and everyone else will rally around that, be it virtue signaling from the left of the political spectrum, or the right. It stopped being about whatever it was supposed to be used for once journalists at so-called "elite" institutions swarmed to the platform.
