It's a Nazi bar. Don't expect reasonable posts from Nazi's. There is no cross party lines with them.
I abandoned Twitter for Mastodon a few months after Musk bought Twitter. I figured I'd keep the account around to DM people who there, just in case my need to do so arose. Then I kinda forgot about it. Cut to a few months ago I sent a message to someone on a different service. I knew they were doing a project, but I politely asked them "hey, do you have the interest and time to do xyz?"
They said "I'm sorry, I'd normally love to, I'm just really busy right now and don't have the time; you probably know I'm doing ABC myself." And that was legit. But they added "Also, you should know I generally don't work with people who have Twitter accounts anyway, for future reference."
Initially I was "But wait, I don't USE it..." But I took a few minutes to think about it. I mean, he wasn't wrong. I DID have an account at the Nazi bar... And I don't use it. It just lends my name to the service for no benefit to me. And that's why I decided to download my data and delete my account. Sometimes calling people out (in a helpful way,) can be a positive.
And that, dear reader, not necessarily the person I'm replying to but you reading this, is now me reminding you that you can delete your Twitter account and stop supporting the Nazi bar.
