Remember when a Tweet could bring down a politician? Where's the people power now?

Home sick, watching season 1 of The Good Wife.

Eli Gould is stressed over a teenager tweeting about his client. Twitter used to be a powerful tool for people to have their voices heard.

Didn't the Me Too movement start on Twitter?

Now, if you have a case against someone famous, it'd be stamped down by bots before your tweet was even seen once

If I complained about a brand on Twitter, I'd
D get nowhere now!

No aibu really, just musing about it 🤔

It’s a good thing.

How so?

Probably a good thing not to have some random on twitter directing public policy anymore TBH

What public policy was dictated by Twitter iyo?

Can’t be arsed
But I’m pleased for one. Gave a soap box to way too many fools.

Understood @Eufyon

For anyone else reading, has it given a soapbox to too many fools?

Arguably that's the case now, now that Elon musk has a subscriber model and tweets are promoted according to how much you spend

But before, wasn't it a great resource to call out abuse, and raise awareness to important causes?

BUMP

So glad I never watched The Good Wife and Julianna Margulies in it.

Twitter was a cesspit at the best of times.

sure there were times it was useful but….

Thank you nomas 😄😄

Really? I never saw it as a cesspit in the early days, although I guess it depends

I followed lots of politicians and commentators

Ash Sarkar owes her career to it

It began strong and then got silly

I'm surprised by the lack of support for Twitter and The Good Wife today 😄

Well there’s hardly been many responses

I know, seems like its just me whos interested in reminiscing about twitter this evening
