No. A few months after the takeover I blocked Twitter at the DNS level for my house. I went back into the office for work one day and in some down time, I went to Twitter while it wasn't DNS blocked. It's a ghost town. I miss the old Twitter, but that's clearly never coming back.
- Dan_Sylveste 3y agoThat's weird, because I'm seeing as much activity, engagement and interaction as I've always seen. There are a lot fewer insane takes being posted by accounts that may or may not be bots, but I'm not really missing that as they just derailed the conversation. I get the impression that more 'normal' people are now using the platform; the quality and ... coherence ... of replies has gone way up. Also happy to see a lot less engagement from 'people' that post insane takes then meme out and block when questioned.
- cbeach 3y agoI agree. Twitter/X seems more “alive” now than it was before. I’m really enjoying being on the platform now. I’m glad that scientists such as Dr Robert Malone have been unbanned. I’m not an expert in his field so I cannot tell if he is a crazed paranoid lunatic, or if he is the most important whistleblower of the 21st century. Either way, I want to hear him out and see his arguments judged by the wisdom of the crowds. While science converges on the truth, it SHOULD be messy and there should be disagreement with consensus views occasionally. When disagreement is silently removed, we’re not doing science anymore.
