    To be fair, before all this nonsense, this is what made Twitter unique and important. Twitter was the one way through social media “the average Joe” could be heard on the public stage. No normal person is getting time on the news.

    Because of its short format the message had to be simple and concise, which made it special in the social media space. Someone saying something about a current event and then the “semi-democratization” process of being shared and liked or whatever the mechanism was (never was a user), and that message then making it into the news media, was a good thing. It actually was an opportunity for normal people to have a voice. And not just for Americans but for people in other countries who have even less of a voice.

    Which is why the current events are so ironic, all of that being ruined, in the name of the billionaire morons claim of “free speech platform.” He couldn’t even see the perspective I’m coming from because he has a path to the public stage.
