I don't see how Twitter can be changed away from what it is and still be a place people are interested in going to.

I think the best reasonable outcome will be for it to be destroyed by this, and set the cause of elite outrage back a few years until something else evolves. I assume this is the master plan. Otherwise, what is the real pathway to a single site where opinions coexist, free speech is allowed, and people participate in good faith. It's a bit like democracy, it only really works if the overwhelming majority have the same goals, otherwise it sucks for everyone.

I see the potential here for a tower of Babel type destruction where all the silly tribes fighting each other just get scattered and take some time to regroup, and hopefully give society a chance to thrive for a bit. Let's see.
