The thriving “stan” communities on X that have helped define modern fandom and culture are a little quieter these days. The backbone of stan Twitter has been almost entirely silenced, an unintended casualty of Brazil’s move to suspend X for defying court orders to take down accounts and posts that violated its laws around political misinformation and hate speech.
Over the years, online fan communities have become major cultural forces, playing crucial roles in the promotion of artists, the creation of trends and even the engagement of young voters.
