9. Why would you say that and how is having an AOL account related to Twitter?

And yes, I still have 2 AOL accounts but they are no longer my primary email address. I use them now to collect junk from businesses I buy things from online.

or any other white wingers post stuff I don’t like, I’ll have to respond.

I suspect Twitter will be open to your blunt comments, rather than trying to kick you off.

I have never been on it or on FB.

What bothers me is that Democrats and Liberals always leave formats then the knuckle draggers take over.

I can't give internet examples, because I don't do social media, but look at AM and SW radio.
Both bands are now nothing but far right wingers, and FM is next.

I think I may join and give it back to them.

No Facebook, no Twitter, no whatever else there is besides those and Tik-Tok.

Don't give a fart's chance in a (chicken) blood truck if people engage on those forums or not; if they remain or if they quit.

If you've never been behind a blood truck in traffic, then count yourself fortunate. The smell overpowers everything.

Been some truly funny Twitter posts shared on DU, as well as some informative ones.

I appreciate it when people share the stuff they find around the internet. Well, mostly.

Guess we'll see how it goes under Musk, as I am sure people will tell us.
