For me it always was to be avoided. There are too many reasons to list, but limiting speech to 180 characters, or 280 or whatever is so brain dead, that only that would be abhorrent.
There're more things, but I may not be authorative because I never used it: polarisation, addiction, egolatry/individualism, centralisation, masterful mindlessness...
Did you? I heard otherwise. I heard many censor staff was fired, so that might mean less censorship, but that now accounts were cancelled or so more whimsically, just because a boss didn't like it.
And if ever was some mechanism to refute cancellations or takedowns, now would be even less of a recourse.
On the other hand whatever they had to verify identities or something (or eventually just posting) would now be cancelled and replaced with some payment, so it sounds like more censorship for the poor, less for the rich or professional viral spreaders.
But I don't go to such places, so what do I know?
