After months of speculation, Florida governor Ron DeSantis declared last week that he was running to be president of the United States on something called Twitter Spaces, a glitchy audio service that one New York Times reporter compared to 'a glorified conference call.' This was definitely not politics as usual.

Twitter of late is a far cry from all that, a chaotic mess, with angry comments drowning out reasonable discussion and persistent questions about the platform's reliability because of the deep cuts made to its technical staff.
