I know reddit has always hated it, but Twitter used be great. I really, really miss old Twitter. (Almost as much as I miss old Reddit)

Twitter was always shit, it was the users that made it any kind of worth it.

That's just social media though. Not at all unique to Twitter.

I'm talking about the actual website, not the overall concept of social media, unless you believe Twitter and Facebook and Reddit and Tumblr are identical other than users?

The features and technical services of a given social media platform are not the same across them all, and Twitter in particular was always shit.

Eh, I guess I just disagree then. It's not that they're all equal in the way the platforms work, but they are all nothing without user content. The differences in the platforms are just filling different niches.

Personally, I think Twitter's relatively limited and bare bones approach is what made is so successful for a long time. It's lack of features and services were a strength and not a weakness.
