Twitter looks like it's being overrun by Parler freaks right now.

Just checked a page I had open and saw that #HunterBiden was trending. Clicked and was assaulted by horrible RW posts and images.

I guess they're going to be like rats coming out of the woodwork now that their haunts are being shut down.

Didn't see any insurrection plotting. I think it's going to become a cesspool over there.

Don't really know how to report it properly though. Those people are so sick.

Do you want a lifetime personal ban from Twitter?

... they are very obvious, but some have left Twitter. This reminds me of the "Exodus" from Facebook to Parler. Many left, but not all... there are still Trumpsters complaining...

Twitter will flush most, if not all, of them but right now it's probably like playing whack-a-mole on high speed.

A large portion of those tweets are computer-generated or trolls. The rest of the comments are morons who listen to propaganda and obediently repeat it.

Then you suddenly have to fumigate even though you never had bugs before.
