View submission: Sudden surge of people romanticizing pre-Musk Twitter on Reddit
Here's a nostalgic thought: I remember seeing it around 2007 when it was very new. It was still SMS based and it was demonstrated to me in a bar on a primitive cell phone. The API was completely open and the framework was being used by interesting 3rd party apps... all of which got later banned.
Now, it's 2024. It's not even in the top 10 of social platforms. We should stop talking about Twitter and ignore the thing.

In 2024 Social media is essentially just talking to the wall in a fancy way with fancy bricks made of glass in hand.

The SMS aspect of it is why tweets were originally limited to 140 characters
