    yeah same. it always seemed really self-absorbed. I never even touched Twitter until 2020, when I was surprised to hear about all this great political discourse going on. I was… disappointed. No good dialog can happen in 140 characters. rarely bothered to post, read, or log on. it’s just this obnoxious self-promoting slam-dunking virtue-signaling dance.

      People will cry “but but but the news and emergency information. We absolutely need this”

      No, tweets aren’t news and any municipality that used Twitter as an exclusive means of spreading emergency information was run by morons.
