I do post a lot of Twitter links here, though I don't post anything on Twitter (haven't for years) because it's been an important platform whose use or misuse impacts our society far beyond Twitter.

It isn't just RWers being duped by conmen.

If it was, Biden wouldn't be there. Zelensky wouldn't be there. Journalists wouldn't be there. Lawmakers wouldn't be there. Government agencies, at all levels, wouldn't be there. Artists, of all types, wouldn't be there.

Musk is doing tremendous damage to Twitter. He's weaponizing internal documents, releasing them selectively, to try to harm Democrats. That shouldn't be ignored.

If you want to ignore Twitter, you're free to do so. But IMO it's still too important to be ignored. It isn't merely some RW backwater like Parler or Gab.
