Very good first half of an article that I resonate with. The internet used to be a lot of small villages where oddballs were generally accepted or at least expected. Those villages have been abandoned and bulldozed to make place for Megacities lead by corporations and something was lost along the way. Everything has become a little bit more lonely and less organic.

Unfortunately the author seems to have hyperfocused on their small Twitter bubble a little too much if they didn‘t notice how the site has been a dumpster fire since 2015 in anticipation for the 2016 US presidential elections. Musk is not a turning point, just a continuation of where the site has been heading for a long time.

It's less that they were abandoned and bulldozed to make place for corporation megacities and more like that the people running those villages moved to the big city because they liked it there better. Now the village is abandoned, yes, but the villagers were not forced to leave, they left on their own accord.
