I want to live in a world where I never hear the word Twitter again.

13. I could handle reading less *about* Twitter and more based on the *information* it carries.

That includes people moaning about Twitter and those of us who continue to use it.

I understand that some think it important to keep up with Musk's latest meltdowns. I see far more about Musk here than I do on Twitter itself, but nobody forces me to read more than the post titles.

Twitter's at least two-edged, like most things in life (even DU). It's an unbelievable international resource, and it's long been deeply flawed, like anything that involves a large number of people.

Some people seem to think its problems began when Musk took over. They must forget how long it took for Jack Dorsey's team to take action on hate speech like antisemitism and ban Trump, for instance, and revolting content has been a constant irritant which you can largely avoid if you use the filtering tools provided and don't go looking for the worst of it.

Musk has deepened many of those problems, but they've always been something you have to find ways to step around if you want to make Twitter useful. At the moment, you can still do that.
