10. I think eventually I will delete it

I’m worried with everything that is going on there and a nut cases now owns it. But who knows maybe they’ll get rid of him and someone better will take over… for now It just seems to be even more of a cesspool of hate. And I do believe it it contributed to incitement of violence in the insurrection that was the reason they got rid of dumpster off of there I suppose. Allowing that type of incitement and hatred should be illegal in my opinion.

Twitter never played a large role in my life, I only tweeted a handful of times in about 10 years or more. And I barely ever read anything there. There’s nothing I really want to save from there except my photographs on my profile which I have done. I could not see any sign of it in the imploding. I went there a couple of days ago…what I find really annoying now is the Twitter posts on here if I even touch the area near the Twitter it seems to bring me straight to the Twitter app so I may delete the app. I used to be able to just look at it on the web browser.

I’m also concerned that since I went there both my phone and my iPad are constantly asking me to enter my Apple ID information and I’m worried that something has degraded in their security process since so many people resigned from there. Another thing that happened was I think when I went to look at my profile there it asked me to enter my cell phone to even do that and I was not happy giving that information. That has never happened before there. so I’m concerned that the site could be being hacked into by bad actors.

If a new site starts up which declares itself against fascism and hate speech and really follows through on it by not allowing bad actors such as dumpster I may join it.
