Lets let a petulant man-child control one of the most important media companies in the world. What could possibly go wrong?

“Important” is not what I would use to describe one of the most toxic and uninteresting cesspools to come out of the Internet.

  • unfortunately that's why it's important. it's like a cesspool being upstream of a city's water source being an "important" problem.

    • Is it really upstream of the water source, or is it its own lake that sometimes, but not often, runs off into the water supply?

      The mainstream idea is that Twitter is important, but I haven’t seen much reason to agree. Most apps that rely on it could be served with an RSS feed. Most people I’ve met don’t use Twitter to any measurable degree. The amount of real world change the service has brought is rather low given how often it appears in mainstream media. In fact I see TikTok do more to influence and promote.
