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 The closest I've found is maybe group chats, but that loses the asynchronous aspect nearly entirely, unless it's a very small group. No one is going to scroll six hours back in an active group chat, but someone might see a tweet of mine from six hours ago. And with the enshittification of everything, feels like even the chat apps are ticking time bombs
