and yet every once in a while I reactivate my account because "oh i wanna see what the funny people are saying" but its not worth having to deal with the weird shitty clapback style of speaking everyone does, and the rampant nazis that people still fucking quote tweet to get their cheap lazy dunks. after being on there for far too long I realized i'd subconsciously adopted that whole pattern of thinking where you look for a bullying target and generally hate yourself and everyone around you. once I clocked that I went to touch-grass and never go back. i cannot escape the conclusion that it is a deeply evil website. i know all social media is like that because of capitalism but twitter really is its own world.

I was an avid twitter user for 10+ years but I quit earlier this year and haven't even felt an urge to open it again. It was just making me angry every time. It wasn't as bad before the Elon takeover though.
