Genuinely terrified.

And there is no way to wall off that side of Twitter either.

twitter is not a public space for a while. i share ur concern and despite the frustration, ATProtocol fill me with hope.

I’m terrified, too! I’m scared of it being used as an “effective” tool for organizing the far right.

I feel like the solution is that some of us are going to need to start cult deprogramming people.

I laughed harder trolling people on Parler than I ever have in my life. Need to make a coffee table book of the screenshots. Horrifying place. I had no idea humans were even able to be as stupid as some of the people were there.

It's wild how much is slipping past the radar in ways that make me more mad more nervous. I saw someone use the blue check system to crowdsource taboo porn on a viral tweet yesterday.

They are a "zoo influencer" and they responded to a viral post asking how they got popular by saying they're a zoo. There were hundreds of replies. There's no human moderation anymore, I think.
