Twitter isn't reflective of the world at large and that it has a relatively small user base of very active users
My gut feel says this too, but it seems to have quite a big impact on news reporting etc

I think you're right. The most competent journalists exist on there but exercise caution andc are over what and how they report. This is a minority of journalists IMO.
Of course, Tommy Robinson is a journalist and he's banned from there. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I didn't really get into Twitter until 2015 or so and left it about a year ago.
A journalist friend of mine always maintained that Twitter isn't reflective of the world at large and that it has a relatively small user base of very active users. This has been my calming mantra for a few years too. Fuck that place.
