can't wait for the misinfo/disinfo pogroms to start in earnest

To be fair not the fault of Twitter, really, it's the fault of the people who uncritically shared it or reacted to it. I mean look at that account, it is a clear troll account.

Why is anyone who isn't a MAGAt still on Xitter?

I keep my handle to keep it from becoming a bot for mis/disinformation. I also check on my peeps that haven't left yet.

I genuinely cannot stay longer than 5 minutes now. 😩
