@laurahelmuth It is unfortunate that there is little mention in the article of the ethical dimension of supporting a site that promotes misinformation and the denial of science. Using a site creates content which actively supports the administrators of the site, and creating content for ex-twitter is providing support for an organization that is actively working against the interests of the flow of knowledge and understanding.
