If Twitter were to close down suddenly, what would happen to cancel culture?
We're used to thinking of it as an internet phenomenon, but it's mostly just Twitter. Even when the person targeted is a YouTuber, you won't see the cancel mob form on YouTube. All the outrage, all the angry calls for blood, still Twitter territory.
I can only assume it turned out like this because of how massively hypocritical Twitter has been in enforcing their rules. After all, what is cancel culture if not harassment on a wide scale, but harassment is supposedly not allowed on Twitter.
Then they'll find refuge on another social media site. Twitter's good to keep as a containment board and not much else.

When I think of "containment" I think of something as small as possible to house one specific thing. Twitter is anything but small. This concerns me... is that much of society really cancer?
@alyx @camedei456 Twitter is not big. it presents reality as a massively outsized distortion because Twitter is Wokeist Neoliberal Propaganda Department & Cancel-Culture CENTCOMM disguised as a social media network and motivated by a vanishingly small percentage of the its user base which is a vanishingly small percentage of the population
