Social Harm Comes From Reduced Interaction

Twitter's recent changes prioritize the interests of wealthy and famous users while diminishing the platform's social dynamics. By removing features like visible likes and simplifying the visibility of replies, the platform caters to the egos of influential users, thereby limiting genuine interactions. This transformation leads to a potentially toxic environment where dissenting voices are suppressed, allowing for unchecked expression without accountability, creating an echo chamber of sycophants and superficial engagement.
