…I got off. (And not that way, you perverts!)
With Musk's imminent acquisition of the already borderline cesspool service, and the inevitable reinstatement of the Orange Russian Wig Stand, the floodgates of racist, misogynistic, homophobic effluent have already been opened. I originally got back on the service months ago for the porn. It's been a good source for many of the photos I repost here. But it seems that more and more overtly political posts were creeping into my timeline, reaching the point that for every one post of a handsome man, there were a dozen posts highlighting in some way the downfall of western civilization, and they were—much like they did after November 2016— making me unnecessarily angry and depressed.
So it's back to Tumblr and various blogs for pornographic inspiration, and Elon can run Twitter into the ground as far as I'm concerned since legitimate advertising revenue will undoubtedly dry up as the level of hate ramps up.
You got me to pull the plug. You are correct: toxic is the word
I'm in the process of deleting my accounts. I saw a bunch of hateful "test tweets" get retweeted by folks to see if they would be removed under the new regime and they were not. There's going to be a lot of hate there. It's unfortunate the media will continue to ramp it up as they use it as one of their main news sources.
Like you, I've found the twitter experience has been depressing and anger inspiring, even over the past couple of months. I don't need the negative energy.
Just deleted my account as well.
