    Anyone still on Twitter (who doesn’t absolutely need to be on Twitter for their job) must either enjoy harassing others or somehow enjoy being harassed?

    I have no clue why anyone who isn’t a right-wing dingbat would use Twitter for fun or whatever. It’s so not fun to be on a platform run by a little manbaby, for a little manbaby.

      Reasons I’m still on Twitter:

      1. Porn
      2. I follow a lot of sex workers because I support sex workers and sex worker rights and, unfortunately, Twitter is the only platform left for sex workers (Thank you Kamala Harris & SESTA/FOSTA!)
      3. It’s still a good place to quickly hear about breaking news like mass shootings or whatever

      who doesn’t absolutely need to be on Twitter for their job

      does this include journalists who would need to actually write articles instead of just embedding 10 tweets and writing a couple linking sentences

        Oh, of course! Stealing content for clickbait in lieu of actually doing your job is the use case for twitter.
