Whenever I follow a link to a Twitter post now, after maybe five replies there's a bunch of Musk's irrelevant tweets wheeled about. Quite the stench on that public square.

If I needed Twitter for anything, I'd have registered and blocked the stench. But it's easier to just pass by and laugh at the antics from afar.

The town square is for the people who hang out there. It sounds like you don’t hang out there.

That's what public squares have always been.

Looks more and more like a circus where people pay to cheer on the director clown.

And lest somebody overinterprets this analogy: I don't doubt that some groups are using Twitter just fine and don't care about the brouhaha.
