Twitter wasn’t just software or visible leadership (for better or worse) but an entire important slice of Internet history.

    I see the fall of the Roman Empire as a loose allegory

      Into the Dark Ages we go. Just need to get through that for a renaissance.

          The fall of Rome lead to the middle ages. That meant a fracturing of the former Roman empire, then various factions trying to recreate the former Roman empire or at least the western portion of it. Seems like some are just dropping off Reddit and moving to other smaller forums and link aggregation sites; some even mentioned visiting Slashdot and Fark. Like I said, some new sites may come along and we’ll have a renaissance.
