Twitter, now X, was once a useful site for breaking news. The Baltimore bridge collapse shows those days are long gone.

I mean it was never actually a good place for news, aside from the top five trending stories, if you wanted infinite bad takes on them.

It's no longer a good place for news, discussion, or even real opinions. It's just an echo chamber of hate and closed-mindedness, and increasingly just bots talking to each other.

Right, and though it is certainly worse, my argument is that this was true before the rich brat bought it.

It was big among the netsec/sysadmin crowd too, it was the first place you'd hear of 0-days in the wild, or whether a popular site/service was down.
