@misc@design_law since at least 2016, Twitter was an endless shitpile of political fights, the main character of the day repeated every day, ambient friend content and the excuse that you could be on there “for work.” It is deliberately and algorithmically designed to be very addictive.
I find I’m on here in waves. Sometimes a lot and sometimes I don’t think about it for a week at a time. In that way it’s like everything else in my life that’s not family or work.
