Yeah. A few years ago I revisited a Twitter account I had registered and not used. And I posted for a while. And then I realised I hated the trajectory I was on, and I deleted every single post and the account. I now have an account and, like the article says, I don't post. Twitter is a bonfire of nastiness. You either give in to it or you have to commit to spending an awful lot of time ignoring the cesspit of general awfulness, and pretending bad faith is good faith for the purposes of dialogue with sealions who learned their chops through Gamergate. If you tire of all that (or if you are a woman and tire of the astonishing, violent sexualised nastiness that you disproportionately attract) and make use of the conversation controls so you can continue to peacefully discuss things only with people you want to, everyone else accuses you of being "aFrAiD oF dEbAtE" or censorship, everywhere else. (Including here.) Stuff that.
