There was a sense that we were being told "this place is a paradise we don't need any tools to fight spam and hate"
I wonder what could have happened if there was simply... better listening. A better response to those concerns. It did not help that some "influencers" have always been invested in staying on twitter/X and even as they complain about what a terrible place it is they have no desire to build anything better. Because they have social power there and change might mean losing it. 2/
