You see, I think Twitter is different things to different people. I use it quite a lot - for putting out news about my local swimming club, the school’s parent teacher association and at work communicating with customers. I find it great, and don’t have to deal with toxicity because I don’t go out looking for it.
- hans1729 5y agoUnfortunately, you don’t have to go out and look for it though. Twitter was not supposed to be a worse RSS-feed, so if that’s your use case, nice, but that scope is ignorant to the reality of its market-fit.
- Angostura 5y ago'Twitter was not supposed to be a worse RSS-feed' I was "meant" to be a micro-blogging platform - so the use-case is pretty central to how many people use it.
- ravenstine 5y agoThat's true, and is the case with Facebook as well. I'm mostly commenting on the overall effect Twitter has had on civilization, and not so much that on the individual level. If Twitter has enriched society, I've yet to have noticed. In contrast, at least Tesla makes electric cars, expensive they may be, and even Facebook Marketplace is an improvement over Craigslist.
