Would you please consider pledging to do something "inconvenient"?

If Trump is ever allowed back on Twitter, would you please agree to totally abandon that platform and to inform Twitter why you're leaving?

Thanks.

Fuck them. Leaving only strengthens their resolve. Don't run, stay and fight these bastards. It may only be social media, but the impact is the same.

NAFO expansion is non-negotiable, and will fight propaganda and misinformation whereever it resides. Will defeat right wing twitter-bots as well as russian vatniks

It's one of the best places for Real Housewives gossip and I'm not letting some festering tangerine cumbubble stop me from something that brings me a brief amount of joy in this fucked up world.

Disinformation unchallenged can become lethal in the minds of true believers.

Leaving is very tempting though and I'll keep that in mind. The economic hit is good, but it becoming another 4chan or GETTR is a toxic proposition.

I didn't leave Twitter when Trump was there before. His presence will make no difference.

THEY won't care if I leave it; my account space there is like a microplastic grain in the salty oceans now. Might be a very infinitesimal cost for TPTB to maintain that space, but it still costs them something.

I don't read twitter for the most part unless it is linked here or elsewhere rarely... I am not sure it would make any difference if I left. But it will be impossible to escape his crap from being discussed on the news if he is allowed back on and insanity will become even more the norm if that is possible. Of course he is still on in some format anyway, blips from fox etc.
