    "Imagine that tomorrow, for some strange,          http://crookedtimber.org/2018/03/16/were-all-going-to-need-safe-spaces/
    otherwise inconsequential reason, Twitter
    ceases to exist."

It's not hard to imagine reasons that could happen,
it's somewhat amazing Twitter has survived this long.
It was a historic event when they announced a
profitable quarter last month.

   "How many people are sad?"

Actually, much fewer than you might think. If today,
you tried to convince everyone that Twitter was an
evil and destructive force and they should really do
something else, they'd act like you were a madman--
but if (when?) Twitter falls over, you'll see them all
collectively shrug and move on to something else
(probably something worse).

   "Isn't this an awfully strange state of affairs?"

I'd put that in my sigfile if they still existed
(and if I ever used them).
