Dear Friends which are unmined, :lobster:

As we may #know there are as many #types of #people as there are people. :ablobdancer:

Do we also #Know? :byebrows:
- #animals and more are people
- we are animals
- not all are safe

In a similar way, we all #understand #language according to what we have #heard. :netkitty:

Have we also listened to?
- #different #ages
- #differences
- #safety

I mention this because I am sure most people here adverts and opinions until they are #convincing. Then believe the #conclusions, #thoughts and #opinions #arrived at are their own. It is #kinda a flaw we all #engage in ...

What to do? Ignore and carry on? #Find #anew? My #answer is very #simple and #involves at least, ???

I read how people stick to #twitter out of various reasons even though they know well that they are bound to a fascist there. There are many excuses:

a) protecting #handle: Why do you need to protect your handle? There are so many people in this world having the same name like you do. But are they able to steal your persona? No, because they can't. A name or a handle is not you alone. And, btw, do you reserve your handle on any other platform in the world as well?

b) fighting #fascists: No, you are not fighting them. You are nourishing them. Fascists are like addicted abusers. But for being able to abuse, they need targets. You just give them what they want. If you are gone, fascists start to attack each other. I have seen it many times. Of course you ought to fight for your right to be. But with twitter this is completely lost to #Musk. Twitter is no human land. It's a room for programmed slavery. Slavery of your mind.

c) #convincing others to leave: Maybe you have 100k #followers. And want to convince others. By staying there and writing to leave? No, that's not how it works. People remain and are curious if you can do it. And then they see that you can't and can't and can't. With excuses. It only works if you really leave. Then, they will go as well and try to find you again.

If you ever wonder why people do not leave an abusive relationship, twitter is now your own experience on this behalf. Everybody who has not left Twitter yet:

How long does it take you to make a #decision for #freedom?
