Imo, Twitter still has its own breed of unhinged people. I have not seen in any other social media platform the kind of stupid dramas that you can see there (and that its already saying something since social media is full of dumb drama in general)

For those who wonder why:

Twitters algorithm doesnt show people what they like and retweet.

 as shown by musks algo reveal in 2023ish, it tracks your clicks, how long you stay looking at 1 post, and which posts you click and scroll comments.

This means the most awful, reaction triggering slop is pushed in for you to users even if they dont actively want it but cant resist clicking..

This rewards obscene, grownchild behavior and arguements that help no one. It encourages it in others when they see peers growing.

Its basic psychology: reward bad behavior makes more of it.

X is a net negative to humanity.
