Yes, it's unfortunate it didn't have a positive effect long term due to being coopted. :(

As people are going to continue to use twitter style websites until they fall out of fashion, I figure its best if that twitter-like is at least not controlled by people who can go rogue and do severe damage to society, such as what happened with twitter.

We realistically can't ban them, we can only mitigate the bad. Personally I don't use twitter style social media, only Lemmy.
