    At this point, if anybody asks, I never had a Twitter account. It’s way too embarrassing to admit otherwise.

    No normal public figure/organization would ever to be associated with this disgusting behavior, but this is the inevitable results engagement centric personalized algorithm, as conflicts create the highest amount of user engagement for the platform.

    Most public organizations/figures should really think about running federated social media accounts on their own server, because having control over the server is the only way to 100% ensure your freedom of association online.

      I don’t think it’s embarrassing to have had a Twitter account in the past. It’s not like anyone could have known Elon was gonna buy it

        And Twitter wasn’t all bad. People used it to spark, spread and fuel several sovial and political changes. It was the modern townsquare.

        It’s too bad it only amplifies nazis and fascists now, but there was a time when regular people had a voice there.
