Yep. Twitter is a real cesspool.
June 15, 2020 at 10:58 am #162265Word–the reason I have joined you fine ppl here.
June 15, 2020 at 11:29 am #162284I never had an account there & even when it was just starting out my friend said I should get on Twatter I said nah back then as well. The only reason I still have a Facebook account is to keep in touch with people I don’t see every day.

I agree Twitter isn’t for kids. I also contend to never ever ever give Twitter one’s phone number or home address. The blue check mark isn’t worth it, imo. I disable direct messages and all “discoverability” options, and I use a gmail email address on all social media sites (including this one) which forwards email to my personal email account. I recommend muting people vs. blocking them, because people can’t tell when they are muted. And no, “Wu BeeBee” isn’t my real name.
With such precautions, adults should have sufficient wisdom, self control and discipline to use social media for positive reasons and remain unscathed by the scum deep within.
Check out this Twitter account, for example. This is the account of the person who made the amazing animated intro to Friday Night Tights. This guy deserves support from Geeks + Gamers!
Twitter can be useful and interesting. Take it or leave it, but whether it is dangerous & detrimental or not depends entirely on me and you, the users (again, kids excepted).
June 15, 2020 at 9:47 pm #162701Here is an example. Dominos Pizza is trending. Some sad liberals are trying to cancel the pizza joint because the current press secretary for the White House made a nice tweet in 2012 about their pizza and they responded. This was before she was with Trump and Trump was not President. Cancel Culture strikes again.
June 15, 2020 at 10:01 pm #162717I don’t pay attention to that column on the far right — “What’s happening”, “Trending”, etc. I check the tweets and shares by the scant few accounts I follow, then leave.
June 15, 2020 at 11:46 pm #162757I agree with you, Jack_JW that Twitter is trash. I left Twitter this month and I never plan on returning to the social media platform. I am tried of the political nonsense, big corporations, and the social justice warrior atmosphere of Twitter. Outside of Facebook and Instagram, I consider the Geeks and Gamers website to be my new “Twitter” now.
June 16, 2020 at 12:38 am #162777Never forget, 10 percent of twitter makes 80 percent of the tweets.
June 16, 2020 at 1:09 am #162782I don’t use Twitter, but I have gone in to read and it gave me anxiety to learn how many people out there are bafflingly stupid.
June 16, 2020 at 5:51 pm #163392Got rid of Twitter and I couldn’t be happier.
