In retrospect, twitter is actually pretty decent, if only they'd remove trash more readily

 So there was a time when everybody thought twitter was no big deal, an evil cesspool of evil awful people who just want to pick fights with little to no redeeming value. And that very soon nobody would want to use it because who the hell wants to know what you had for lunch and dinner every day, the thought went. Trump made it his bully pulpit and then there was no stopping it. Then he stopped using it, which created a lot of safe space for other people to move in, and so it got more popular among academics, journalists, researchers and other experts in field, particularly to talk among themselves, but also communicate clearly to the public.

What was thought of as its weakness, the word limit, ended up being a strength of sorts as people starting writing short essays based on them, each tweet a sentence, which allowed people to digest essays one sentence at a time, and respond to them one statement at a time, something that's really inconvenient to do with blogs or proper essays.

So yeah it turns out twitter's pretty decent, as long as they're aggressively removing bots and fascist murderous racial supremacist accounts, they might end up as the winners of the long battle of social media.
