Never change, just keep on shining you beautiful christbol diamond

seriously though, all social media platforms with over 5 million users should be nationalized through imminent domain to protect the 1st amendment since they are essential to the existence of an healthy public debate necessary to a functioning republic, and any corporate control over that is a threat to free speech

How did we ever have democracy before Twitter?

Does that include the bots? Are bots entitled to free speech?

I didn’t have a whole lot of followers, in fact I’m sure I have more people who’ve blocked me, but the ones I did have were quality. I was honored to get followed by authors, artists or organizations that inspire me .

I loved my time on twitter, maybe a little too much. I had been trying to take time off of it Bc I was using it so much but still in two years I managed over twenty two thousand tweets

This is what happens when you tell the truth in a world comprised of lies

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
These social media tech monopolies are shutting down and censoring all speech that doesn't align with their politics. They're mostly censoring conservatives, but they're shutting down far left people as well. And this isn't the free market, they're monopolies. Everyone needs to get on stuff like bitcute. This whole situation is turning into an orwellian nightmare.

- in the past, the concept of public forum of idea was different, but things change

- bots, not being humans, are not entitled with human rights (and neither should corporations but I disgress)

You sincerely can't, and I don't mean this as a criticism of you. Twitter's format and rules don't allow for this for a bunch of reasons. It just isn't conducive to having a real conversation.

I think the fact that it let's people talk to each is the number one factor contributing to its lack of conversation. People suck and they suck more on Twitter.

Only automated (and easily manipulated) moderation, the Twitter feed itself, a feedback system based on trying to get fast reactions in a short window, the ease with which users can be harassed, the low signal to noise ratio, the difficulty of establishing yourself as a new user, the lack of anti-botting mechanisms, probably more that aren't popping into my head right away.

Twitter is not a medium for discussion, no matter how many people try to do so with photos of try-hard essays, numbered posts, or linked videos. It's a medium for shitposts, insults, and getting yourself elected President of the United States.
