The demise of Twitter: how a 'utopian vision' became a 'toxic mess'

• jim-jim-jim 2y ago
  The Australian Guardian has been seething nonstop about this stabbing video. It's so weird to see the media class simultaneously so worried about "misinformation" but so adamant that the public not be allowed to view objective primary source material. Elon is a cunt and Twitter is now full of weirdos who sun their anuses, but the Australian government and its spineless cheerleaders are unambiguously the bad guys in this instance.

    I looked into it briefly but Im still not sure why the aussies are chasing this so vehemently

      I believe aussies have a love (Murdoch, Packer*, etc.)/hate relationship with people (even true blue fair dinkum people) throwing their weight around. * good on him for the Packer Whackers!

  Most social media is a toxic mess.

  Back when people were making (((handles))) on Twitter, I wondered if they ever thought about the possibility of what might happen if a right wing global finance conspiracy theorist bought the db, but of course at the time I'd figured that was just paranoia talking.
