The development of platforms often follows the same path: in the early stages, relying on the vitality of creators and users for wild growth; in the later stages, relying on rules and commercialization to establish order; and when the platform becomes large enough, issues of governance and the boundaries of power emerge.

X's transition from wild growth to commercial regulation inevitably brings to mind the great migration of 2022: a large number of Chinese crypto users left Weibo, carrying the frustration and distrust of being banned, and flocked to a seemingly more open public square.

At that time, Twitter was like a big square, big enough for anyone to shout a few times.

Now, Twitter is like a grand emperor, so big that it can easily ban accounts, just like an emperor who might execute a rebellious minister at any moment.

Setting rules for the platform is understandable. An ecosystem that wants to grow cannot survive without rules.

But at all times, please remember: the platform is not an emperor that stands above the users. Holding the sword of authority in hand, one must also have the sword of Damocles hanging above.

After all, nothing lasts forever. If the people's hearts are lost, then everything is lost.
