      When people say "Twitter is not real life," just remember that the whole Omar controversy *started* on Twitter, and now it's roiling the entire Congress and could presage a permanent split in the Democratic Party. So yes, Twitter does "matter" whether you like it or not

      Trump could very well not be president without Twitter. John Bolton is currently trying to foment regime change in Venezuela with a Twitter-centric strategy. AOC now has insane levels of political leverage due almost exclusively to Twitter. It "matters" more than we appreciate

      Does Twitter have distorting effects? Yes, of course. If you don't use Twitter with self-awareness, it can make you assume that your feed is representative of the wider US population. But that's different from saying it "doesn't matter," as certain world-weary types often do

      I’ve been hearing doom-saying about Twitter since I first joined the platform 10 years ago. And yet, it just keeps growing in influence. No reason to believe that’s gonna change any time soon

      Also, Twitter provides a window into the thinking of political and media elites that previously would’ve been inaccessible to the public. That can be easy to lose sight of. But it’s a radical change in how ordinary people relate to their powerful overseers

      The massive and growing influence of the platform is all the more reason to be extremely concerned when people are booted off on spurious grounds. You are depriving them of something hugely consequential. Anyways, that’s enough for now. Need to get back to browsing twitter

          Just because there's 1 consequential tweet out of every 1000 doesn't mean that the bottom 20-30% of this site shouldn't be purged

          That’s one of the points that @Timcast was making to @jack and @vijaya on @joerogan’s show, about the importance and influence that this platform has over political discourse. They either can’t grasp that reality or they’re reluctant to admit it.

          Anyone who watched @Vijaya yesterday on Tim Pool's show NOW KNOWS Twitter is NOT booting people off for random reasons. Some yes, such as #Milo, but her explanation of #JacobWohl or #AlexJones was robust.
