This chapter explores the declining usability of Twitter, the negative impact of recent changes on the platform, and the search for alternative social media platforms. It highlights the removal of features, increased ease of harassment, and the diminishing usefulness of Twitter for finding news and information.

Welcome to the September 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number -- based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good -- and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
