Like many others I saw this viral thread from a long-time user lamenting the destruction of Twitter as it as morphed into “X.”

I owe Twitter a lot in terms of connections and my career but it has become a truly unpleasant place to spend time and I doubt I would’ve had the same process of discovery again if I was starting out as a young person there.

There needs to be a replacement and I don’t think it’d be hard for Warpcaster to become one. Perhaps I’m a little biased because I’ve already started using it and enjoying it but this is really the chance to start pitching the platform as an alternative for people who want to recreate the magic of what Twitter was before it become a optimization machine with an internal culture verging on a neo-Nazi rally.

who else LOVES that new twitter feature where the millisecond your video stops playing you're blasted with another one that's completely unrelated 
(it's obvious that every move that's been made after elmo takeover is to improve (useless) metrics and not make the experience better for the user.
