Yeah it was the only public forum/town square of the internet. It just really isn't that anymore, and I think it really matters that people stop using Xitter. It's bad for users and bad for society. That said, you're right, it certainly isn't the highest contradiction and people don't deserve to be brutalized by pigs because they're a shitposter.

But its wack to compare leaving Xitter to leaving the US or giving up cellphones. That was my original point.

Agreed, comparisons to paying taxes or giving up phones or whatnot is pretty silly haha

Okay, tell me why it is silly (while taking into account what I already said in this thread to explain the irrelevance here of rating ease of quitting things).
