I know that people don’t want to hear this. Everyone has their own particular reason Twitter is convenient to them. It’s hard to let that go. But choosing to stay is a still a choice, and it does have consequences. Maybe losing the respect and friendship of trans people in your community isn’t that big a deal to you. I’m not telling anyone what to do. It’s your decision, not mine. Nevertheless I have lost a lot of respect for people who are still there

@djnavarro I liked people I followed on Twitter, including the R data science folks like you and the science articles that would get posted. It got a lot more hostile with extremists since Musk and then him backing DeSantis was just so extra blatant, especially after a few of his toxic posts. It was a shame because I had just made real-world contact with an international Twitter colleague. Quit that platform.
