The response to this post has been mixed. Some people strongly support it, others . . . not so much.

So far, none of the people protesting have disagreed with my underlying premise, that engaging on Twitter brings legitimacy to a toxic platform with an agenda no different than Breitbart or Daily Stormer. Instead, they say all their friends are still there, so . . . why should they leave?

To these people I say: Sorry, to harsh your buzz, but the fact is Twitter is a far-right platform. That ship sailed a little over a year now. It's only a matter of time until Elon begins medling in the 2024 US presidential election on a scale that will dwarf Facebook's Cambrindge Analytica scandal. Twitter should be isolated from mainstream society. Continue to normalize it with your tweets, likes and retweets if you must, but history isn't going to judge that kindly.
