> When facts are uncomfortable, just rewrite the narrative.
The sources you presented failed to substantiate your argument, and instead of looking for different ones or considering you might be mistaken, you've doubled down.
Are you quite sure you are willing to take a hard look at uncomfortable facts and hazard having your mind changed?
- 15457345234 3y agoSorry but the 'twitter will die any day now' narrative was utterly pervasive across reddit and endless media sources were cited on a daily basis in the 6-month period that followed the buyout. It was basically the _only_ topic on r/whitepeopletwitter which had 3+ posts hit the frontpage daily. It isn't something you can gaslight away. Everyone who was there saw it. It happened. Interestingly enough most of the reddit posts were deleted after 3 days once they'd fallen off the frontpage. It didn't matter, there were always more being made lol. Does make it awfully hard to cite, though. Odd.
- maxbond 3y agoI'm not on Reddit so I'll take your word for it, but that isn't the claim being discussed.
- ric2b 3y agoYou can just use the internet archive if you think some stuff has been deleted or modified. All the claims I remember of a possible twitter collapse were about users abandoning it, not about some technical issue that would be unsolvable.
