    Twitter ruined people’s image of reality. The echo chamber, the content generated for follower counts, the view that the perspectives on Twitter somehow represented what the mainstream population was concerned with, the entitlement that stemmed from each individual thinking they had and deserved a megaphone, the dumbing down of thoughts to meet character limits; that platform was severely detrimental to American society. In my opinion, these issues are far worse than the brain rot, vapid influencer schtick, and right wing radicalization the others generated.

      The fact that Xwitter became such an echo chamber and that people there really started to believe that they were the moral compasses of humanity made it gain the appropriate nickname, here in Brazil, of “Black (in the sense of rotten) Banana Institute”.

      Brain rots REALLY bad but yes twitters character limit alone was a instant decline in dialogue and commentary. I’ve honestly never used it to see an internal representation of how it’s doing damage mentally. So thanks for the insight with this comment
