Small Twitter World

I have no idea how it happens but I routinely and by complete accident run into Twitter accounts of people I know. And I don’t even know any people. I’m practically a recluse. There are supposed to be billions of accounts, but I somehow accidentally run into somebody familiar every now and then.

The way it happens is I read a comment to a comment to another comment, and when there are finally only two commenters left in the thread, one of them is a former colleague or somebody who used to read this blog but then got upset because my brain isn’t a 100% copy of theirs.

What I’m saying is that Twitter doesn’t recommend these accounts to me. I stumble on them in comment threads.

And yes, I now use a lot of Twitter because it became fun and useful after Musk took over.

  1. The Tories (Conservative Party, at least in name) have been in power in the UK since 2010 and the past thirteen years have seen some of the most horrific developments in the country in terms of wokification and general degradation both of public life – within and without politics – and of the private lives of countless citizens. All of this while under the watch of so-called conservatives!

    It’s saved me lots of time otherwise paying attention to chattering classes bollocks.

    Not missing it. :-)
