I'm saying that right now, certain high-profile idiots are making it matter by definition. Once they stop using Twitter for that, then it'll stop mattering again.

The high profile idiots might matter, their participation on Twitter doesn’t.
Twitter isn’t the active ingredient.
They didn't say it was, they said it was VIA twitter.
The medium is the message.
(Or at least, it heavily shapes the message).
They would literally announce new decisions on Twitter before anywhere else. High-impact political decisions and international decisions. You would be a fool to ignore it just because of the platform. You'd die on that hill.
> Twitter isn’t the active ingredient.
The idiots aren't an active ingredient either. Russia and Iran could have used any puppets. These ones just happen to also twitch like a frog leg.
I’ve never had a twitter account so yeah, color me dead on that hill. I’ve been getting my information several minutes behind you, but in a much more honest, reliable, useful, and complete form.
Turns out that when it comes to info quality is genuinely important, and I have no inclination to fish through raw sewage.
