I've been trying out Twitter lately for the first time in at least 10 years. No social network has ever made me as mad at my fellow humans as that one does. 10 min reading comments and I'm outraged at the constant stupidity, attention seeking and political virtue signaling on both sides. It's like everyone is on a team and trying to score points on their opponents and become the MVP, instead of communicate. I'm not sure if it's being related to real identity that makes people behave like that or if it's the focus on statements (tweets) rather than conversation, but holy crap what an unpleasant place to hang out. I'm still drawn to it like a car crash but think I'll happily go back to pretending it doesn't exist soon enough. It also affirms my belief that anonymous social networks are the way to go for discussion. An official announcements platform from the famous the the masses has value as well but it's a different thing entirely.
