Honestly, this reads like a very reductionist view of a large company. I barely use Twitter, so I can't speak to any design changes. However, both the Twitter subscription and Community Notes rolled out very recently. The platform work

The media generally doesn’t cover a bunch of no-lifers tweeting mean things at each other. When someone well known gets involved they generally report on that. Kanye and Kyrie were absolutely reported on. I’m sure they have tons of die hard

I see abortion as a topic where the left/right split hasn't caught up to the populace. Recent US elections seem to support that [1]: "Five statewide ballot measures all came out in favor of abortion rights, even in red states

I believe your view is an extremely unpopular opinion. If a kidnapping victim killed their kidnapper, I don't believe anyone would advocate for their punishment.

I'm sorry, I don't know what you are responding to with "Probably bikes right?". Cities that are built for living typically include massive investments in pedestrian infrastructure, including bikes, if that is what you a

I completely agree if we are talking about a typical suburb. A mixed-use area built for living doesn't have that issue. What I find really strange is that some people in these comments seem opposed to mixed-use areas BECAUSE their chil

I'm seriously shocked by how many people value the idea that kids can play in the street. Why not a park or other recreation area? I get that it isn't entirely common in the United States to build walkable parks but that is a Unit

I'm not sure I agree that a high quality of life requires playing in the streets. Perhaps an issue is that many rural areas lack adequate pedestrian pathing and recreational areas? Maybe an even larger issue is that parents generally f

Just guessing, but a lot of the resources are probably devoted to making money for the business, not padding resumes. Others have pointed it out, but showing tweets doesn't generate revenue without additional infrastructure.
