Twitter reminds me of the worst parts of the old “wild west” internet now. There’s still some good content, but it’s hidden among scams, skeezy porn ads, and some of the worst opinions you’ve ever read.
I feel pretty immune to that kind of stuff, but it’s a huge culture shock after browsing moderated social media.

Excuse me, but the old “wild west” internet was never this geopolitically evil.
