Twitter can sometimes feel like a massive hellscape with no joy in sight. We feel you. We do. Some days, like everyone else, we want to delete the app and find our inner peace. But the truth is, there’s too much good lurking in there — too much joy in an otherwise hopeless place. You just need to dig past the blockbusters to find the hidden gems.
Granted, “hidden” is a relative term here. Having 50,000 followers still means a good-sized town is listening to your random thoughts. But on a platform where everyone from reporters to activists can have 10 times that, it felt like a good place to start. We’ve got journalists and activists, too — but we also have comedians, actors, policy experts, rappers, and everyone in between. So hit that follow button… and don’t forget to thank us for helping patch up your relationship with that little blue bird.
Also, this is alphabetical, not ranked — so if you want to have that argument, you know where to take it. (Hint: Twitter.)
