Drew HarwellJust realized it's now been two months since I was locked out of Twitter for factual reporting. I could delete the (non-rule-breaking) tweet and go back but, to be honest, I just don't feel any real desire to. It's a social network built for one, and not a place where you can trust that real reporting won't be punished on a whim. Every tweet supports a place that's hostile to what we do. Why enable that?
Go Sports & Music!@drewharwell That’s an incredible question, people see a site that goes against their ethics and still push that bird button, it doesn’t make sense to me. I deleted my posts and likes in the run up to the musk purchase, then gave him 2 weeks. He sucked, I deleted the app. Easy
Martha Howell@MarioERoc @drewharwell Same here. Before the sale I used to see a few awful posts, but at a level where they felt like outliers. After the purchase it went downhill quickly. About 2 wks in I saw an evil post about Anne Frank that disturbed me for days, and that was enough. It felt immoral to read that, or to participate in a business model that allows it to be published.
@MHowell @drewharwell Reminds me of when Trump was elected, I personally knew a lot of Latin Americans that were harassed that next days, and through much of his time in office. People would say, “we don’t have to bite our tongue’s anymore”. Even my grandma caught a few “go back you your own country’s”, she’s been here since 1959. Crazies!

It was like every hateful person in this country was issued a license to be an a$$hole. Even the kids. It makes society so ugly. So sorry for your grandma!
