    Abandon would be the best approach. A ban would just make people want to use it more.

    When twitter (now formally know as “X”) was first a thing, the only reason I joined was because private business, city services, and news agencies became a little easier to follow in one unified location. It also made it easier to reach them with quick tweets.

    Maybe the solution is to put a restriction on business, news agencies, and government services from using it?
