It's baffling why people think it's OK to retweet political stuff just because everyone else does it. If your profile says "data expert" or anything, why then do i get political propaganda when i follow you? At least have the decency to add "and political commentator" to your profile
- endorphone 7y agoTwitter accounts, like many other venues, are generally the person. And while the person might be known to you through one slice of their life (the part that has value to you), that doesn't deny them having other beliefs and opinions. Unless you're paying for their tweets, your opinion on what they should be limited to talking seems remarkably irrelevant. Having said that, twitter is a profoundly destructive force that is overwhelmingly people just preaching and clucking at each other's cleverness. I absolutely revile it as a platform, but I get and appreciate that it provides value for others.
