There is a VERY GOOD reason to do this, and this is because they are still very powerful and prevalent.

Closing your eyes and ears and going NAAH NAAH NAAH I'M GOING TO PRETEND IT DOESNT EXIST is a wildly stupid way to approach things like twitter when they are still so influential.

I appreciate experimenting with "boycotting," but when the dust settles and the thing is still very much there, you have to engage with that fact.

I pretend 4chan doesn't exist and everything's been fine. Now I do the same with twitter and everything is fine just the same.

Depends if you thought Twitter ever had any value at all ever. I once made an account, hung around for 2 weeks,then never opened it again. So since musk owns it, it has no more or less than relevance than before.

You're just objectively wrong. There is no reason to entertain a Nazi website. You sound hurt as if you work for X.
