You say that as if destroying Twitter was a bad thing.
For some cases, yes it was bad. Plenty of organizations used Twitter as a micro blog to keep interested parties up to date... Like a short concise RSS. That's what I primarily used Twitter for, for years, and that was Twitter at its best.
Twitter once was an online townhall where people can start any movement or use it to spread their movement to wide masses. These days it's just some shitty tool for propaganda.
Spread movement to wide masses == propaganda
A movement necessarily doesn't have to be a bad movement or bad propaganda.
I'm pretty sure Twitter has always been a walled garden.
