Unpopular Opinion: Xitter going bad is the best thing that ever happened to the Web (lemmy.zip)

Anyone sane has left Xitter already and the crazies stay on their own platform, making the Web generally much more pleasant, as less and less sites link to Xitter.

I mean to some extent you aren't wrong.

If it wasn't for Twitter going downhill I am not sure if Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse would had become as populated as they are now. While Reddit might had maybe gave some usership, both combined going bad really helped.
