I donāt think itās at all like twitter 10 years ago but agree on not letting the bots and angry trolls take over. The algorithm doesnāt amplify that BS and blocking actually works.

Yeah I disagree but the algorithm works differently anyway. Iām tired of people telling me what to do in defiance of these asshats. We can all decide how to engage or not to at all..but part of the bigger issue is infighting and diluting a clear message of..telling them to F off.

YOUNG: "I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it ā that this represents racial discrimination. And discrimination against Americaās LGBTQ community. Thatās what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out."

They donāt seem to care! None of this is popular. Who thinks cutting cancer and Alzheimerās funding is going to be a popular decision?!
