Update! Since Twitter has let Badd Compani’s account back online I have reactivated mine. Pleasanty surprised. I know there is a lot going on. Trying to be patient and give Twitter the benefit of the doubt. Waiting to see what happens with the musk deal.

I saw this go by tonight about the FBI and other letter agency employees who have started working at Twitter... I mean... https://twitter.com/stefsull/status/1585063482159878144?s=20&t=7PNd-qL314OjqX57_Ygyfg

Between Twitter and Fox News the oligarchic billionaire scum have an unfair foothold in the homes of America's voters that have made their war on democracy mainstream and there seem to be no way to fight it. Thanks to these tax and regulation haters Putin has more influence over 40% of the country than Biden or anyone on the left. It's too bad, but not surprising, that we don't have many/any billionaires on the side of democracy but that can be expected in a predatory capitalist country.

Just deactivated my twitter account. Clearly they are compromised from the inside with no intention of changing course and correcting wrongs. I have no desire to be a part of that kind of network.

Twitter is already a bastion for supremacists, conspiracists and suicide trolling, that hopefully it will implode on itself becoming MySpace.

Susan Portnoy is fretting people will go elsewhere, including a platform that doesn’t allow weaponized memes implying it has Russian ties (via retweets of someone else)

There needs to be a new town square one without propaganda, disinformation and suicide trolling

Quote me on this: it will be a commercial failure. Nobody, absolutely nobody wants another far right social media sight. The far right still uses twitter because they can troll prominent leftist. They will have no reason to come there when everyone left of Fox is off.
