For at least a few years Twitter was the place to get breaking news as it was unfolding, like during the Arab Spring. Over the past year though it has become utter shit for even that as X's algorithms push clearly right-wing slants of mostly made up culture war stories.

All that to say though that under a post about the UK government working with Zionists to beat up and jail a shitposter just because they don't like Israel, we're instead in a lengthy discussion about whether or not using the 6th most popular website on the entire internet is a mark against someone. Yes practically anyone on X can switch to another site and be better for it, yes it is incredibly easy to drop for practically everyone using that website... but this started with a comment that said he deserved state violence and a kangaroo court trial over this lol. Feels like we've moved onto a totally different, equally needless discussion while pulling focus away from what really matters
