People with crap-loaded long-handles and lots of irrelevant hashtags in tweets seem a bit like homeless people: wearing too many mismatched clothes, taking all their stuff everywhere in shopping carts. Similarity runs deeper: no Twitter-friends, only rant-targets.

Crypto twitter has a particularly high incidence of Twitter homelessness. Even after you eliminate the obvious pumping bots and sketchy PR flacks, you’re left with a lot of lonely people trying to connect over some shitcoin social object.

Doesn't the Internet make it nearly effortless to join a new community, though? Even people who only post rants can be friends with other people who post similar rants. Or do you mean that the mentally ill will also have difficulties on the Internet similar to real life?

Two friendless people ranting at each other do not provide much social connection to each other. Access is not enough. Relationships require minimum viable mental health online or offline.
