There is no benefit to anyone on the left being on twitter.

Nina Turner tweeted "Insulin should be free." some libertarians responded "Nina should pick cotton for free."

Did this obvious racism hurt them? No, they now have more followers than ever. Being over there is just being bait for these extremists to build their network.

Grotesque racist images of Nina, rather than being demoted by the algorithm are being *promoted* since the people posting them paid for blue checks.

Leave.

@futurebird People being shitty to other people is always a horrible thing. I feel for the person being maligned. That being said I dont tell people what apps they should use. People can make their own decisions. There are whole groups of nerds on twitter who don't care about politics they just want talk star wars or comics or games. They probably never saw the post you mentioned.

@bassplayer @futurebird this is true but the reality is those groups of nerds are funding the overall company which profits off of the racist abuse outlined in that post. It’s important to make sure people know that’s what they’re doing when they use twitter, so they can make an informed decision over whether to stay.

@Barney My guess is the people who are still there don't see the shittness in their feed or just ignore it.
