    Yeah I’ve no love for Musk but Twitter is full of pretty unpleasant people in general and it made political journalism worse by encouraging low-effort hot takes over slower more thoughtful content. I won’t miss it when it’s gone.

    My problem isn’t really with its politics (I’m quite left-wing myself these days) but its personalities, you can be politically progressive without having the mentality of a schoolyard bully and that’s what Twitter was fundamentally about, bullying the main character of the day.

      Yep. I have no issue with people I disagree with. I enjoy engagement and good faith debate. But people would doxx you just for disagreeing with them, even if you weren’t advocating for actual harm to people, etc (in that case it’s twitter who should ban them)
