    Noone said it wasn’t a real platform nor popular, it is that we can choose to delete our accounts and not use it because of its owner. Simple, done.

      Nobody said anything about deleting accounts or not using Twitter. You’re just making shit up.

      The comment was “People still use X?”, which is clearly a phrased as rhetorical question intended to suggest that people don’t use X anymore. Hundreds of millions of people use X, so this is an outright lie. That it is being used to dismiss allegations of widespread disinformation only makes the lie more problematic.

          I understand that it is facetious, but the humor in the statement is predicated on oft-repeated misinformation. The “just a joke” rhetoric doesn’t work on me.

            You are defending the use of X which is being used to spread misinformation and my only point is that people should consider NOT using it. I understand that they are using it, which continues to dumbfound me The point is that they are using it and that they should consider not using it!

              I’m not defending the use of X, I’m acknowledging the widespread use of X.

              I don’t understand the exercise in deliberately misinterpreting me. Acting like you’re stupid isn’t a good look.
