The new Twitter is changing rapidly — study it before it’s too late
www.nature.com
Social-media researchers overemphasized the platform now called X for years. But now, as it rapidly changes into something new and frightening, we risk paying too little attention.

    I’ve never used Twitter, nor liked it, but in 2010 I had to observe that it was indeed useful when it became one of the primary ways for people to communicate during the Arab Spring.

    Since then I kept not being into it, but at least I thought it had some important value I had not seen.

    Now it’s all locked up, so it really has become useless (and I haven’t even talked about the rampant disinformation)

    RIP Twitter

    Edit: fixed grammar

        You’re aware that Nature is a multidisciplinary scientific journal, yes?

        If you’re insinuating that Nature is generally overtly political, you should really see someone to get that cranial-rectal inversion checked out.
