Wired: “The NYC-Dublin portal gives us a peek into the future of online community building in the wake of Twitter’s demise. Twitter is officially dead. Last week, twitter.com became x.com, marking the final step in a rebranding effort that the company’s owner, Elon Musk, announced last year. The change marks a shift for the now birdless app under Musk’s reign, which has welcomed Nazis and white supremacists back to the platform, dissolved its Trust and Safety council, and has become a cesspool of disinformation and conspiracy. Meanwhile, people seem to still long for authentic connection—like with the Dublin to New York portal that connects the cities through a live videostream. Today on WIRED Politics Lab, we trace Twitter’s demise and delve into what the rise of the portal could mean for the evolution of how we talk to each other and consume politics online.”
