> It seems like a total farce. Accordingly, it seems like he’s being a complete asshole to thousands of people while making a spectacle of himself.

True words. Also, let me add: can we stop worrying about social media for a while? If it magically disappeared overnight, no lives will be lost and our existence would be the same, if not better.

Yes, it mostly disappeared for me recently (apart from HN, Twitter was my only social media) and all I have is a sense of relief. Why didn’t I stop sooner?

I realized a large part of why I was using it recently was to follow my municipality’s elections, and I would have been far better served simply attending meetings and speaking directly with candidates. I did this a bit, but spent far too much time soaking in second hand information from Twitter. Why?! It feels kind of crazy in retrospect.
