He stated that he initially assumed the strange behaviour was peculiar to Nigerian users and might be different in other countries, but he later discovered that the same trend remained true in Kenya, South Africa, and the United States.

"I don't like people on Twitter. I used to think it was just Nigerians on Twitter that were just MAD. Then, I now want to go to Kenya. I saw that it was the same thing. I went to South Africa, I saw that it was the same thing. I went to America; they have their own group. That if you go, you'll see all of them tagged. It's a worldwide pandemic and phenomenal.

Toxicity brews on Twitter due to users' lack of accountability, amongst other things: Adelolu Adewale

In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Adelolu Adewale Oluwaseun, a digital communication expert, speaks on the dynamics of the popular micro-blogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter).

"Well, the majority would say X (formerly known as Twitter) is a very toxic platform, and some would say otherwise, but I feel there are exceptions to this generalisation because, for someone like myself, I see Twitter as a marketplace, a productive and comprehensive community where quality discussions, genuine friendship, and association can be established, an avenue to make passive incomes, and connecting with people of like minds all over the world to form a beneficial voice and make that voice heard."

Speaking further, Adelolu explains the growing increase in toxicity on Elon Musk's app.

He said:

"However, this doesn't rule out the fair share of toxicity on the platform, primarily due to the users' lack of accountability and anonymity.

"Twitter allows users to create accounts with different identities, parody accounts, and many fake profiles flooding the timelines, so I think the inability of the owner to control this act has inspired individuals to freely engage in online harassment, hate speech, humiliation, and oppression without considering the mental wellbeing of the targeted individuals.

"If this can be controlled appropriately, it will significantly end the era of toxicity and bullying on Twitter."
