i suppose i use twitter very differently than mr. kaplan. for me, twitter is almost like a social "one line a day" journal, where i persist random thoughts and jokes i have throughout the day. what he considers "fragments of nothing" without any worth, i consider memories. i can still look back at my old tweets from 2008 and remember what i was doing and why i made the tweet almost 10 years on.

i'm likely in the minority, but twitter for me is more personal than performative or social. i keep a backup of my tweets archive so that i will never lose any of my memories. and this is why i find tweet delete services so baffling.
