I think one thing many people mourning Twitter don't realize is how much damage the app has done to them psychologically. And I don't even mean trolls and abuse. I mean the addiction factor, the weird thrill of having their rage buttons pushed all day and late into the night. The preoccupation with likes and retweets. I don't think they yet realize how much they've been manipulated by The Algorithm. Perhaps, like me, they'll see more clearly once the fog of that addiction has cleared.
