The broken Twitter everyone warned us about is finally here

  Except it isn't. It's a degraded experience, but it's working just fine.

  They’re still hoping that Twitter is / will be dead, because now it’s run by someone outside their political tribe. Why are we sharing this silly tribal BS on Hacker News?

  Still waiting for the 'complete' and total collapse of Twitter that was falsely predicted and didn't happen, weeks after the layoffs. Twitter's 220M+ users still remaining on the platform unchallenged.

    It would be interesting to know how the traffic has changed - we'd need an unbiased source, of course. It's very possible twitter will fade to death or fade, then sink, rather than exploding immediately (as it didn't).

      Sites like twitter and myspace don’t really explode so much as erode. Anecdotally (n=1) my entire social graph left, but I could believe new classes of users were drawn in simultaneously. I have wondered myself whether we will ever get legally-required-to-be-accurate metrics from them again; surely they must factually report the truth to the remaining investors right?
