At this point, is there any way to keep an active #Twitter account *without* being part of the problem?

It doesn't matter anymore if some of your audience or customers or favorite people are there. Twitter has devolved into a place wholly in support of fascism and oligarchy.

From the macro to micro, whether it's malicious leadership or ostensibly 'small' policy changes like this. Twitter is not a social media platform anymore. Top to bottom, it is a vehicle for fascism.
