Twitter never served the public good. Musk is doing us all a public service by killing it and associating himself with Nazi losers in front of the whole world. Now everyone knows that Musk sucks, Shitter sucks, and Nazis suck.
I mean Twitter has always been a bit Marmite (I certainly never got into it, even after they extended the character count) but it had some unique good aspects. From another comment, it was good for breaking news from trusted journalists, speaking directly to companies for customer service when other avenues would be ignored, and the Arab Spring (which maybe didn’t end up changing much, but it spooked the Saudi prince into joining in with the Twitter purchase).
