0·1 year agoOk. I would say the main question should be “are there sufficiently accessible alternatives to the usage of Twitter in the communication between companies and customers?”
I guess in practice, at least in Europe, there are often multiple ways to reach out to companies? (Twitter, contact form etc.) So in that sense it makes sense?
But the fact that Twitter is also used (much more) to share memes should not matter?
(Disclaimer: I haven’t looked into this case in too much detail).

Misha@social.edu.nlOPtoPlants@mander.xyz•This little plant, identified as Equisetum arvense by a colleague, appears to have grown right through one of the metal posts of the bridge of Amsterdam University College (#AUC #UvA #VU).
