    He can’t push his apartheid propaganda if people refuse to read it, right? Dutchie is just missing one thing… you don’t have to use Twitter. Free yourself from the site, and it no longer holds any power over you.

      It’s super easy to say “just don’t use the site,” but you gotta understand that that’s a lot like saying “just stop hanging out with your friends” when they invite some neonazi to every get-together. Yeah, obviously it’s what you have to do, but it still absolutely blows, especially if you don’t fit in with anyone else.

        Dude I don’t care how long I’ve known the person, if I find out they are inviting neo Nazis to parties then I am fucking gone.

        It does absolutely blow, but sometimes, you absolutely need to do it. I left Twitter after fourteen years of dedicated use, I left Reddit after four years, I was forced to leave Miiverse when it closed after five years. None of that was fun, and I’ll probably not see some of the people I left behind again, but sometimes you just run out of options.

          Also, those communities never truly had any tangible long lasting value because they weren’t real, they existed etherially on the internet.
