Read on Twitter
So twitter has become this angry place — on all sides of the partisan divide. There’s no room for nuance. It’s all binary. It’s Us vs Them. It’s destructive. It’s nasty. It’s unhealthy. It’s no longer fun. It’s all attack. There’s no grace. 1/x
As a result, my account is going dormant. It is just not worth it anymore. I will still tweet links from time to time. But I’m no longer reading mentions or replies. I’m not engaging. The people I follow can still DM me. But this space just isn’t worth it anymore. 2/x
There’s too much anger. Too many people who spend all day getting mad. Too many people who impugn motives & assign malice with an incomplete set of facts. It’s generally unhealthy. It’s frequently destructive. It’s often vile. And it’s all yours 3/x
I’m logging out and deleting the app from my phone. Maybe it will be a better place after the pandemic. Maybe not. Until then we should all listen to some of the best advice in 2020. Be kind. Be calm. Be safe. 4/4
