Why should anyone care one way or the other about this Twitter drama?

- chomp 4y agoI mean… Twitter was a formative SV startup for most of us, post dot com bust. Its downfall is at least somewhat interesting.
- pixodaros 4y agoMany prominent birdsite people are US journalists, pundits, and celebrities. They thought that although social media are the Leopards Eating my Face Party, their faces would stay untouched, and it would just be the proles who were banned or shadowbanned or bullied off. Anyone who was on Photobucket or Tumblr or MySpace knows why this was not a wise thing to believe, but some people need to have the leopard actually bite them to believe it can happen. A scary amount of 'news' in the USA is rewritten twitter threads with the origin more or less hidden. So its as if the young people kicked off Tumblr had the mainstream media to amplify their complaints.
