X is bad, though

Lex Friedman:

It’s hard to miss out on fun things. I miss what Twitter was. I wish I were still enjoying the party. But I sleep way better at night knowing I’m taking the steps I can to not make that smug, rich, hateful asshole any richer.

I can’t believe we’re having to have this conversation again..

What is driving so many people back to Twitter over the last few weeks? And why are we suddenly seeing so many people defending the platform and, by extension, its awful owner?

It’s especially disheartening to see this resurgence just weeks before a major election. Have we really forgotten so quickly why we left in the first place?
