Who else has old twitter nostalgia?
I remember back in the early 2010's twitter was primarily made up of real authentic users with their face, name and personal info on their bio like city/school/profession/hobby/favorite team etc. Tweets mostly consisted of things going on in your life, funny or inspiring quotes and relatable memes and the main people in your replies were of people that you knew irl like friends and family and your feed was whatever the accounts your follow tweet or retweet. Even when there were disagreements or controversial takes people were still way more rational and humane about it. Now it's almost entirely a botted astroturfed political propaganda tool with anonymous bots and paid grifters posting divisive, hateful and dehumanizing content either for engagement or for nefarious agendas. Many other social media platforms are becoming the same way and I feel really bad for the young kids who only know the current toxic twitter and are having their world views and opinions influenced by it.
