600 posts a day makes it nearly useless for organizing?
Have you attempted to use the platform since the rate limiting? It’s approximately 2-3 searches before you’re rate limited out of the app for 24+ hours.
You’re also unable to view comments unless you’re logged in, so you’re required to give them semi-accurate information for an account too.
It’s literally useless for organizing unless you pay for it, which defeats the entire purpose of wide spread reach like it used to have.
Okay so twitter is useless. What about all of the other social media sites out there?
None ever had the organizational reach Twitter did. FB/Instagram require more personal data and are much worse for discoverability. Mastodon and BlueSky have the issue of nobody using them (in the grand scheme of things). Lemmy and Reddit don’t work well because of reach and censorship respectively.
There still isn’t something out there that replaces the use cases of Twitter.
You're kind of defeating the point here by talking about all of these other social media sites that are available, none of which you claim has been dismantled. . .and even rejecting some of them as not being good only because enough people aren't using them. This is not a dismantling of the system.
Twitter is literally being dismantled. It’s a shell of what it previously was, and does not work for organizing protests and other counter-culture due to the billionaires buying and taking it apart piece by piece.
The whole point of Twitter was reach. None of the other platforms have the same reach.
Also the other platforms are doing their best to follow twitters lead. So yes, it’s being dismantled.
