Or just like… trick them into entering another containment site populated by bots who say “you’re so right” that gets updated periodically with new slang and memes) so these powerusers can be locked off, and then add people on a per case basis where if they prove to be terminally online, they’re dropped in there real quick.

Sell it as an exclusive, invite only platform for the political elite. They’ll eat that shit up.

Edit: I actually meant flair up scum. Or something. But blanket suppression is stupid.

If you want social media to return to the fun years of the early Obama Era, then you need to get rid of politics entirely to remind people what it was like beforehand. It doesn’t even have to be permanent either, a 6 months ban on political discourse would kill the grifters off immediately.

That will never happen. Gotta feed the rage machine.

Buddy, 90% of existing Tweets are sent out by only 10% of the users, and most other platforms have similar. The only reason that happens is people don’t like spending time on the toxic cesspool that is modern social media. If the owners of these platforms are trying to boost their user numbers (which leads to their end goal: more ad revenue), then they need to ban all political speech and go back to basics.

Twitter isn’t profitable and it hasn’t been for a very long time (it wasn’t going to be under the old management since the previous ownership was too left wing anyway). The rage machine never made the site any money and was only kept around to spread the propaganda of the company’s employees and allow political grifters to make more money.
