I would always think when browsing here the last few years (or decade? sheesh!) about how Twitter killed the message board. I still remember learning here the lesson of not feeding trolls which (For me, anyway) carried over very well to twitter.
I still can't believe how rapidly Elon is strangling that site.
I feel like I have so much to say philosophically on the species/social media/twitter/musk phenomena and yet simultaneously nothing noteworthy to say.
So a perfect metaphor for Twitter I reckon!
For me anyway, Twitter has been circling the drain for a while. Elon might just be speeding it up though!
Maybe there's life in the old dog yet and the site can serve as more than a record of petrol prices over time?
ETA: LOL, nearly 20 years on this site and still haven't cracked 1000 posts! As opposed to ~13k tweets over 15 years. All super intelligent and worthwhile too, definitely
