So no social left in the social network formerly known as Twitter.Or is the first step into a new symbiotic life with humans and machines? I wonder how this will play out

@ErnstGucker I am curious to see it, but I mourn the final act of destruction to a shared public space that meant so much to so many.
@LillyHerself @ErnstGucker We never owned Twitter. We were always the product. There’s nothing to mourn aside from any naivety that led to thinking it was anything more than an app designed to extract money from advertisers.

The tool was only that, a tool, built to enrich a greedy man, then changed to enrich one greedier.
People do not mourn the tool, they mourn the connections, the communities that have been built over years, and seemingly destroyed overnight.

@axnxcamr Users should have banded together around 2012 and bought twitter and turned it into a cooperatively owned, international platform. We were so many, it wouldn't have cost many sheckles each.

@oberstenzian There were no advertisers in the beginning. When I started using twitter in 2009, you couldn't post images and RTs had to be done manually. There were in-person events held in cities around the world to boost interest. At least where I lived at the time, in Scotland's capital city, there were several "Twestivals" and many "Tweet-ups".
It was used as a tool to find people of similar interests/jobs and to then meet up with groups of these people IRL. It was good. -
