So no Twitter half a year.
Not using Twitter made me realize how small Twitter is. In most of the world, Twitter is irrelevant. There are so many networks and platforms and communities out there. Twitter is just another one.
After about three months, I had forgotten everything about Twitter. It would only pop up in online articles, sometimes, like “so there was this Twitter thread and people fought over that tweet bla bla bla”. This is when I realized what Twitter actually is:
Twitter is 2D Roblox for exhausted adults.
From the outside it really looks like its own metaverse: cliques and their own etiquette, own reality, avatars, power trips and so forth. It is wild to see people well into their 50s or 60s troll like little bitches in high school. But it is happening!
Screenshots are so ubiquitous I always end up seeing the “best” or more accurately, most viral tweets without spending a second logged in on Twitter anyway.
Technology doesn’t care about your business model.
