a few days ago they posted a graphic listing all the other social media sites where they have a presence. They’re still posting on Twitter, but they seem to be preparing for the worst.

I was blocking Republicans constantly.

I can't imagine what it is like now.

Nasty most likely.

Glad I left.

I saw more of and about Trump and his tweets on DU that I ever did on Twitter because I chose not to seek him out and to spend my time on Twitter more productively.

This very evening, without his even having re-taken up residence on Twitter, I've read more about Trump on DU than I have on Twitter.

While Twitter provides me with the company, wisdom, energy and humour of like-minded people, and some just different enough to be stimulating, I'll be stuffed if anyone is going to drive me off it, not Musk, and certainly not a hasbeen would-be despot who will hopefully soon be a disgraced jailbird.

Why the hell would I give Musk or Trump such power over me?
