Something Happened on twitter, and i entered the longest most productive and emotionally significant period of hyperfocus of my life, and channeled my anger and sadness into creative ends, and what came out was this blog post that's… very plausibly the longest thing i've ever written in one sitting, and somehow the most coherent and digestible. it's about what's happening to twitter. please read it. i poured my heart into it. https://hikari.noyu.me/blog/2024-10-02-the-algorithm-is-killing-twitter-and-its-driving-me-insane.html

@hikari this is painfully relatable, especially the second half — I was hopelessly attached to Twitter, with a big part of that being the friends and connections I made there!

what made me leave, despite this, was the fact that the platform was actively destroying the way I used it. the last straw for me was the day they limited how many tweets you could see

and i still miss the people that haven’t moved elsewhere
