Why leave? Thats like giving the right full run of the house.
Instead stay. Block or Dont follow right wing loonies. And use the forum as a tool.

(24,338 posts)They only hang around because they have people to antagonize
There are reasons why they didn't congregate to all those reich wing social media sites -- it is only filled with people who share their opinions. There's no one to aggravate

(102,357 posts)registered her. Never posted or followed (well I guess she followed Betty White- lol) and never even liked anything. I only did it so I could continue to use internet-only access to a few accounts like Laurence Tribe and Neil Katyal and I never downloaded the app.
But apparently, Musk intends to make all accounts non-anonymous. That might help some issues, but I won't share personal information with him anymore I would FB (and I never registered there either).
So, I guess I'll continue as is until I (or my sweet doggy girl is tossed off).

(5,943 posts)you are effectively denying them the forum to antagonize. The idiots were spewing 'Bye Felicia' tweets to the 'libs' yesterday. It made it super easy to identify and block their stupid asses. When the people I follow leave, then there will be no reason to stay, but for now it's not yet a done deal with Musk, and it's still the first place to find breaking news. And for a news junkie like me, that's valuable.

(15,265 posts)Membership ? I think it just the opposite. Leave Twitter in mass and leave it in vacuum. Leave it to the bag of assholes Musk is going to let in.

Thats what I told my slowly getting more and more conservative son in law yesterday. You cant herd liberals like you can conservatives.
That says SOMETHING about intellect.
