I was thinking a long time that I'm not responsible of what a web service owner does or what other people do online, as long as I'm kind to others. I thought I can't help it if people are assholes. I can't affect the world being an ugly place. That was my rationale continuing using the site that wasn't that good in general.

Nowadays I know how wrong I was. If you see misinformation, misbehaving people, discrimination, toxicity, you can naturally close your eyes and move on - In the digital world block, mute and report, that is. This is acceptable in those places you know something is to be done with the perpetrator.

But on #Twitter for example, nothing is to be done with that as the whole culture is upside down. It's like folks are spending time in a Nazi club, in cubicles. Nobody will do anything with the reports. The violence will continue.

We've seen continuous examples of discrimination, complete lack of moderation, trampling on minorities, toxic behavior, trolls, antisemitism, extremist activity and the latest: animal abuse. And all this is free and acceptable on Twitter.

I can affect this. I can leave the place. And so can you. Leaving is a statement. Staying, using and feeding the algorithm is supporting all that shit. Do you want that?

What are you doing there? No community is worth living in the bad neighborhood.

Leave Twitter now. :twitterfire:
