> Kayvon was a huge driving force behind all the interesting product efforts of the last few years: Spaces, Fleets, topics, etc

Honestly not sure if you're being sarcastic. Fleets were killed within months of launch because they were awful and no one wanted them. Spaces will die when the nft bubble finishes collapsing. And topics are just a way to shoehorn crap no one wants onto their timelines without asking first.

What do spaces have to do with NFTs?

NFT dudes are the only people I have EVER seen using that feature, and I use Twitter daily. I also follow exactly zero NFT dudes so I don't know why I always see their spaces.

I've been in a bunch of local political spaces run by journos and activists and experts, but my province is in the middle of an election right now.

Spaces are heavily used where I am right now as a replacement for radio with plenty of really interesting topic. Basically, "everyone can open a station" scenario.

Off the top of my head, there is a big trial going on, and people are discussing details and commentary on that (with competing spaces for the defense and persecution sides). Stuff that you don't have the time to convey using traditional media.

It has gotten big enough to have politicians show up and do special shows. Thing about 2+ hours of interacting directly with the public.
