    Global town square? If anything, social media in the modern age is like Time Square: dirty, overcrowded, covered in billboard ads for brands, filled with cartoon characters in costumes and CD hawkers who are only there to take your money, and of course, the people shouting their political agendas at you through megaphones.

      Only a media person would be thinking that xshitter used to be the ‘town square’. If anything it used to be reddit, but now we lots of better options. Like Lemmy.
