@aeva Twitter was/is a platform where important things™ happen. Politicians run for election to determine how the country is run, and interact with constituents. Companies advertise direction and interact with users. People (from celebrities to journalists to engineers) built brands around themselves that were/are major contributors to their income.
Reddit is just a place to go to shitpost. No one is going to lose an election because it no longer exists. No one is going to worry about bankruptcy. It is basically just 4-chan but respectable.
I'm a pretty heavy reddit user, a very very light user of twitter, and I think losing twitter hurt society a lot more.
(Apologies if I'm repeating points already made, I don't see any of these points made, but I'm not sure kbin is really federating properly considering how much load it is under).
