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.

I strongly suspect there are “Twitter homeless” who have the same problem of social isolation, no online home, mental illness risks. Reliant entirely on impersonal algorithmic curation for their feed, visible as noise but not as humans to the connected, easily mistaken for bots.

I think online homelessness is going to be as severe a problem as offline in the future, as more online life gets “urbanized” on the larger platforms.

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.

idk if this is true for shitcoin hashtags; but in general twitter seems to have gotten colonization of hashtags by parasites after suppressing the existing ecosystem

I suspect you misidentify some people with strong opsec habits as "twitter homeless". It *will* be difficult to establish warm/personal connections with them, but for quite different reasons

I wonder what the causation is here. Are internet homeless people more likely to be in crypto twitter? Or does excessive crypto twitter make you homeless? 🤔
