Why? People grieve all sorts of things—a community which was built up over a decade and is now falling apart seems a perfectly reasonable thing to grieve. What about that do you feel is profoundly unhealthy?
- glenstein 3y agoI agree with you, it's clear that they're talking about something that's coming from a place of rather ordinary human empathy, as opposed to unhealthy fixation.
- pc86 3y agoWhat's falling apart though? Is it really falling apart? Like I said, my feed is identical. I think if you dig into this you'll find it's a completely self-made issue. People leave because they think there's going to be massive changes or they try to prove some political point. Then other people are mad because some people left and start talking about how Twitter is completely changed when it hasn't.

Lots of the commercial feeds are still there, but most of my friends have moved on—not all to the same place—and the more interesting feeds I follow tend to post someplace else first, and then crosspost to Twitter. > start talking about how Twitter is completely changed when it hasn't This is very much a YMMV situation.
