In my own experience, I haven’t noticed much of a difference with Twitter over the past few months. I still enjoy interacting with people I know and reading conversations around topics I love. If there’s something I disagree with, I can ignore it, and if there’s any content that really offends me, I can block it. I might still consider posting more on Twitter in 2023.
