Twitter’s been steadily tumbling downhill ever since Gamergate turned it into the de facto platform for online harassment, but it’s only gotten worse since the Trump presidency emboldened an entire generation of neo-Nazis to put swastikas in their avatars. As our president tweets out racially charged Faces Of Death outtakes and “alt-right” dipshits use the platform to run smear campaigns, we’ve been forced to find refuge in the accounts of corporations like MoonPie and Wendy’s, for Christ’s sake.
Speaking of Wendy’s, it was teenager Carter Wilkerson’s appeal for free nuggets that topped the year’s list of most retweeted tweets. That information comes from Twitter itself, which took a break from not doing anything about its harassment problem to share what most captivated the platform’s users this year. The best news? Nary a single Donald Trump tweet made the cut.
