"I hope Twitter implodes!" I don't. I hope someone else takes over & the site returns to how it was before. I have spent years of my life posting over there. It's like losing a close friend that introduced me to all of my other friends. It sucks & I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm sad about that.

Twitter was my safe place when even real people weren’t — and it’s pretty sad to see something that I’ve come to enjoy over the years collapse due to a billionaire treating it terribly. I found communities on Twitter that helped me so much through everything. I hope Twitter comes back strong.

My friends but also - ouch, my career

It was the first place I’d go to as news was breaking and other times I marveled at how witty people could be online. It’s sad to watch it’s demise at the hands of an idiot.

so much of my income comes via twitter lol i just want it back to what it was before

Ditto.

all composited things are impermanent

I couldn’t agree more and so many people rely on it for visibility and their livelihoods. Losing it is really devastating for a lot of people who need it and it helped me build community and find the strength I needed to transition

Very real. I am tryna goof away the pain but I’ll miss it over there. Maybe a fresh start is good though.

I totally know what you mean. Although in a way, with Twitter pretty much being the sick person of the internet right now, a general reset wouldn't go amiss. Plus, it might give us all the impetus / motivation to reflect on our own social media usage and also make new friends on new platforms.

I'm mostly ambivalent. Twitter is a worse cesspit than it used to be, and for that I wish it to go with the Titan. But I miss my cesspit, the cool one from before.
