If Twitter is done, so is our access to immediate information EDIT: It's Over

[bnew]

People on Reddit are the worst to talk to IMO.
Great for information, terrible for communication.
Plus you don't know who you're talking to on there cause nobody has profile pics.

I've come to dislike profile pictures because I believe they introduce bias within online interactions. the majority of the time knowing who someone looks like is irrelevant to an conversation.

you'd probably hate IRC.

This is a click baity title but holds up as mostly truth as Twitter is the number one platform that provides consumers instant information. As soon as something is tweeted you can see it.

No one can control the speed of this information machine. They can try and regulate it but they can't stop it (Great examples being Myanmar military coup, Hong Kong protests, terrorist factions posting propaganda or telling on themselves, ect).

To those who are excited that Elon is taking over so that it can be destroyed all because you hate that you can't fat shame without flak, tighten up.
Think about what's really going to go away if Twitter goes under. I can only hope Elon's dumbass does make it faster for non-western users (if that is even a legitimate problem he claims).

And when Twitter goes away what instant feed is as legit? Facebook? Instagram? Laughable. This forum is always the last to know about anything. Once twitter goes away you'll have to rely on FB or Instagram live at best to get a thread started. That's all.

Meh, good riddance that 140 character limit doesn’t allow for true conversation. A lot of misleading information straight up misinformation or hoaxes spread. Garbage think pieces usually created by hustling academics and journalists.

Spoiler: heres an example of what a good tweet thread looks like because of succinct posts within the character limit.

Well I looked it up and you’d be wrong.

There are 68M active users (22% of the U.S. population).

Forums like TheColi are obsolete.

68M worldwide? maybe. sounds about right. way behind IG and FB.

I think there was a study awhile back the ironically said Twitter on average has better grammar and communication/readability than most places on the internet because people need to think how to get a message across efficiently and effectively while using less characters.

The way twitter is marking Mastodon links as harmful reminds me of when SOHH/projectcovo banned thecoli.com from being mentioned in the forums when it was coming to an end.

Elon doesn't want anybody to leave.

twitter is not even a top 10 platform, the world will be fine without it. It's known cause a lot of "important" people use it

I don't think anyone is saying that. Most of us are just saying we won't have the ability to organize and receive it as quickly.

We all know that lol our only point is currently no true substitute exist no one is screaming the sky is falling we are just acknowledging what the platform can do that no other one can at the moment.
