There is no important information on that platform that you couldn’t get another way

What the people defacto running the world's most powerful economy are saying seems quite important to get from a primary source. It's so easy to take a few screenshots of a few tweets and write many completely contradictory stories.

    Are you talking about WeChat, or truth social? I didn’t know nitter worked on either

  • I can assure you, you don’t need to access Twitter to get that information, they are relayed everywhere. Which is really unfortunate because they don’t deserve the attention they receive. Try for yourself, stop using the platform for like a month, you won’t miss anything of value

    • You don't have to talk to me like a twitter-addicted baby, I was never on it and I probably open a twitter like three times per year.

      If you're happy getting your information second-hand, I guess that's your choice, but not everyone is. If I read a news article that cites a tweet as a source, I'd like to see the rest of the tweet thread for context. It might not be what it seems.
