Isn’t this exactly what you’d expect to happen given Twitter has become a raging dumpster fire and Meta has enough networking effect to get a Twitter clone off the ground?

File under: “Obvious things to do when you think about it”, really.



Twitter is "a raging dumpster fire" only for Space Man Bad people motivated by politics.

For the rest of us, it's actually better than it's ever been, especially if you're like me and living outside of North America. It's snappier and more open than Twitter 1.0, and it's not banning people at the behest of the FBI.


Space Man: good

Car Man: so-so

Twitter Man: bad

But Twitter was already a pit before he bought it. He fired all the people who held the line on its ongoing degradation, so it's getting worse.

What's actually different about it other than it loads faster and the For You feed is good now?


It loads no faster for me. The For You feed is worse for me. Top replies to posts I do want to see are consistently more hostile. These used to fall to the bottom or behind a filter click like they should.


The speed increases were mostly for non-us. I dunno my for you used to just be American politics drama, tiresome to read as a non-American. Now it’s generated from my following interests.
