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 can’t even begin to overcome the unique kind of nazi cranks that inhabit that space. I see in slop people posting marble bust avatars with some of the most bewildering yet unhinged racist takes. So I’ve never even dug under the surface level nazi stuff to see the mean assholes who make up the rest of that hellscape.
