It's all over. It wasn't enough that those bastards have gab, telegram, 4chan and who knows what else, they want to shit on normal people that would never go near those other sites.

These days an enormous number of DU posts are merely a retweet.

Way more twitter reposts than you tube posts these days.

IMHO, Twitter is a community, not a product. The entire value of the product is in meta-engagement, not in selling. If Twitter users went on a posting strike even for a single day, Musk's investment would disappear forever.

In a short time, Twitter may have all the social relevance of MySpace.
