Twitter now traps your browser's back button like a scummy porn site. Never have I had fewer regrets about deleting an account, and that was ages ago, and every couple months I somehow have even fewer regrets than before
Twitter nowadays reminds me of how the average person will remain sitting in a room that's slowly filling with noxious smoke, because everybody else is sitting still. From a distance it reminds me of that. I deleted my account when the sale became official.
One of the things I actually miss from Twitter was having a handful of truly famous people follow me and we just like, casually shot the shit about inconsequential things every blue moon or so. Not even looking for it or trying for it. The only place that kind of interaction would happen all on its own. Of course, it came at a steep cost. The site was poison in a way that was highly contagious, so you'd get roped into all kinds of drama and feel like it was the most important thing in the world. But it's the inconsequential chit-chat that made it great.
I appreciate the site's name change in that, absent the name that still clung to a fig leaf of respectability, it's open to righteous attack. Nobody credible wants to defend "X," whatever the hell that is. It's like when PMCs rename themselves, but in reverse
[edit] Changed from Bloomberg to an un-paywalled site
