People will say “good riddance, Twitter was always trash”. Personally I disagree (I’ve been happily using it for years, I just don’t get involved in political shitfights) but even if it is true I will think it’s a notable lesson. Scaling human interaction up to internet size just doesn’t seem to work. Reddit just about held it together but only because it functioned as a collection of mini communities you could dip in and out of. Almost all larger communities have always been a mess. I’m not totally sure what the lesson is here but I am very curious where we’ll be in fifty years time. I hope somewhere good, I fear not.
