Which wouldn't be half as bad if it wasn't for the potential for echo chambers and tribalism fostering political radicalization.

This seems to be a person that thinks that they had something beautiful and nice that contributed to the public sphere and doesn't realize that for many this event in which twitter may change drastically or die is a good thing either way.

Then again if I was in a server room where 4chan, kiwifarms and twitter were hosted and I had a revolver with two bullets I'd shoot the twitter server twice. I'd be baffled if I ever learned in some quantitative way that the site was a net good.

What political radicalization specifically are you concerned about?
blue anon - you know those brainwashed radicals that say government and SV has all the solutions.
So basically, you don't mind right wing toxic sites that bread enough radicalization to actually kill people, but you do mind the one platform that actually hosts groups from across political spectrum.
