I didn't elaborate on this enough in the previous post, but please do not assume I'm trying to make no one uncomfortable or enforce real names or remove anonymity. That's a pure strawman.
Being uncomfortable is fine. Disagreeing is fine. Anonymity is fine. Living with people who say disagreeable things is part of life. I have issues with stalking, harassment and death threats. It's not anonymity or disagreement that are the problem, it's aggressive harassment that would get you a visit from the police if you did it in real life.
Please don't think in simplistic, binary terms. We can have free speech, anonymity and argue all day without stalking and death threats. That's the happy medium I want.
As for why be part of a platform "not made for you," I just explained why. Twitter is a useful tool that is indispensable for some jobs.
I'd also ask you to flip your assumptions on their head. Why do you think Twitter shouldn't be changed? Isn't it more greedy of you to insist that certain people, usually women and minorities, continue suffering abuse? Isn't it selfish of you to not make a change?
- Sir_Substance 11y agoI guess I don't agree that twitter is as mandatory as you think it is.
