Musk acquiring Twitter...

I guess I'm just shocked that people spend so much time on Twitter and put that much value on what is posted to it and by whom.
But the problem that is ultimately run into, regardless of the digital platform, is when content that doesn't fall into the measurable and verifiable category gets deleted because someone doesn't "like it". In other words, having opinions deleted because "we" don't like them or agree with them. That is where the tug-of-war comes into play. But again, the person that owns the platform ultimately should have the right to run it the way they want and if enough people don't like it, it will "go out of business" or only attract a certain "customer base". This may be the intent of the owner, to begin with.
I think anything like the below example (given in the article) would go a long way in cleaning up the "town square" discussions.

Decent suggestion.

I remember the days when if you didn't like what you were reading...you stopped reading it. Would be cool if there were a way to block someone you didn't agree with, unfollow them...I don't know, call me crazy.
This board is even becoming full of twitter posts. For me, most are useless since I have no idea who many of the original twitter posters are. I've gotten to the point of skipping over most of the twitter links.
Sounds like you have the same problem I have and a couple of other users have PMed me about - only the links appear, with no tweet nor explanation attached. With most of these other guys, the whole tweet opens up so they don't have to hop back and forth and open tweets in a separate tab. Since no one seems to want to attach a brief explanation as to what the tweet is about, I've come to the same solution as you. I simply don't bother with most of them. It makes reading the board too slow...
Same for me. And the more I read about twitter, the more I realize I had the right idea about ignoring it.
Don’t know how, or why, but some show up for me and some don’t.
Still doesn’t solve the, “Why is this person significant to the discussion “ part though.
I typically only share tweets from people who are verified, meaning they play some documented role. You can usually hover over their name and figure out why they're verified. I'm not really interested in sharing some actor's view, but a noted reporter on the ground in Ukraine is likely a good share.
According to some all the talk could all become moot anyway.

I didn’t realize this was an issue. I don’t post many tweets, but I’ll start putting an explanation with the ones I do post.
It seems to be peculiar to the browser and even to the particular machine...

I remember a time when you "walked into someone else's house" you followed their rules or left (voluntarily or not). Then you could go anywhere else that would put up with you and complain about it.
Yep, nowadays people fully expect to go into other people's "house" and tell the owner to change the rules, rather than follow the owner's rules or leave. That's what "we" call fair nowadays though......I see it in most facets of life.
