Whenever someone even remotely noteworthy quits twitter because they are upset about something the news jumps on it and makes claims about how terrible people are harassing them.
Yeah, if you do something or are involved with something people disagree with and have an open line of communication, people are going to complain to you. That's how social media works. If you want people to praise you all the time for everything you do on social media you're an idiot. --- YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Because that's what we've been reduced to, a planet full of Twits.

And in some cases it follows them attacking the person or group who then counter-attacks. Leslie Jones, for instance, make repeated attacks at Milo that night (which she blamed on a hacker because apparently hackers really like defending the Ghostbusters reboot) before he went after her and his followers went ap--- erm, bana-- uh... crazy. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

Because addicts always feel offended on some level when they see other addicts give up their addiction, because it reminds them of their own weakness.

I wonder how the world would react to Twitter being down or banned for a month.

That is mainly why I try to avoid social media altogether.

Back in the day we didn't get news forced down our throat 24/7. Nowadays all of these "news" outlets have to find something (anything) to talk about to stay in business.

Because we live in an era where people think social media is everything and has given a platform to even the most idiotic of humans that perpetuate it as so.

Even people who don't use Twitter would be pissed at a privately owned company being banned from the internet. --- Gamertag: Kegfarms, BF code: 2033480226, Treasure Cruise code 318,374,355, Steam: Kegfarms ...

Because reporting actual news is hard and having an intern monitor social media for clickbait is cheap.
