The importance of Twitter in this election has been greatly exaggerated. The only reason I signed up for it was so that I could participate in Lou Dobbs’ nightly surveys. Other than that I couldn’t care less for a forum that allows basically only one liners.

Trump was able to get his version of events out OVER THE HEAD of the networks on Twitter. That platform was important...Trump even specifically talked about it in his 60 Minutes interview last week.

People are moving to gab.ai. Twitter is soon to be a zero.

I don't know if I'd say that. Businessman Donald Trump used Twitter very effectively to became President-elect Donald Trump.

LOL! What a typical FReeper response. "I don't like this (new movie, new music, new technology, etc.) therefore it has no societal value."

Exactly.

The fact that they're conducting this purge, after they've already lost, is evidence of how effective right Twitter was.

The Donald Reddit was also incredibly effective.

And this, despite the MASSIVE censorship attempts of Twitter’s CEO and staffers:

Twitter is dying, moves like censorship are helping it along. Remember something called myspace? Besides the twitter business model is deeply flawed so it will never be truly profitable.

Be eloquent in praise of the very dull old days which have long since passed away,

And convince 'em, if you can, that the reign of good Queen Anne was Culture's palmiest day.

Of course you will pooh-pooh whatever's fresh and new, and declare it's crude and mean, For Art stopped short in the cultivated court of the Empress Josephine.
