The whole Twitter furore is so obviously at its base a political one that I have to take issue with your comment.
From my observations the 'sky is falling', butt-hurt, desperate for Twitter to now fail group are very firmly on one end of the cultural-political spectrum. They're angry and affronted that "their guys" have lost control of it, because it's a very important thing to be in control of.
We should stop dancing around it and acknowledge that there's a political aspect to this whole thing.
- oneeyedpigeon 4y agoI think you're overestimating a) how many people are on the hard left or right b) how many people care about politics on Twitter. Until Musk took over, I had no perception of who was 'in control' of Twitter — it was just a bunch of useful, interesting accounts I followed, some of them with a personal connection, many of them not.
