Should DU block Twitter?

28. Fine, but no one ever said, "Give your enemies a great big platform and tons of legitimacy."

And PS: as long as WE continue to give them someone to fight with on Twitter, it will not self implode.

I predict it will take the path of Discussionist but take a lot longer and do a fuck ton more damage in the process. That path is this:


1) Democrats think "sunlight is the best disinfectant" or some such bullshit and engage with the lunatic trolls.
2) Lunatic trolls will band together to ratfuck the site, high fiving each other all the while, while normal Democratic people find they simply don't have the time or dedication or Cheeto quantities or little Russian Bot friends to fight it.
3) Lunatic trolls will feel they are winning. They will strengthen each other and bring in more lunatic trolls who see how much fun they are having "owning the libs."
4) At some point, way down the line, the scale will tip and Democrats will realize, "This is a shithole and I don't need to subject myself to this."
5) Lunatic trolls will continue picking up more lunatic trolls and radicalizing others, for YEARS.
