Part of what makes X so shitty to use now is that there is no sense of shared reality on the platform

With Twitter, we had a solid veneer of truth that 80% could reach consensus on

Now, it’s a thousand fragments of reality trying to coexist (they can’t)

The people crave a retvrn to an internet that feels real again

Giving everyone a platform has allowed people to think that each and everyone of us are the Main Character in whatever narrative they hold true.  Social media at it's core is a mechanism to drive up individualism (monetization, attention, engagement to one's self) and less cohesion or conformity, where the loudest voice (whether right or wrong) is usually the one most heard as it creates 'buzz'. People don't want to conform, they want to be seen... and this is an extreme example of a yearning for self worth but on steroids on a global platform.

Buzz it the new king of attention in a world of ever shorterned attention spans and "what's next" economy. Wrong info sell as "hot takes" and disinformation is "Breaking free of the matrix". 

It's all in by design to reach no consensus.
