Canary in the Coal Mine: Twitter and the End of Social Media
https://crimethinc.com/TwitterCanary
Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter confirms the end of social media as we have known it, at least for the purposes of positive social change. Now all the major platforms that played roles in the movements of the past decade have been brought under the direct control of reactionaries determined to make sure that they cannot be used to coordinate resistance.
The question is what comes next. Will reactionary billionaires determine all we can discuss and imagine? Or will we establish other channels via which to communicate, other forms of connection?
@CrimethInc Yes. The days of centralized monolithic social media may be over. They're too vulnerable to takeovers by bad actors. Now that people have been burned, they know.
