When ‘reasonable’ people delete/deleted twitter/facebook in droves, are we just ceding the ground game to the racists and the ones who can shout the most hate?
Leaving a toxic environment that also is a privacy and advertising nightmare will always be an excellent personal choice.
It isn’t worth it. At least for me at this point. When you are dealing with the ineptitude of the simple-minded masses—which is either bandied at best or they are totally blinded by hatred from vacuuming up disinformation without an iota of effort to fact-check anything—the best hope is face-to-face discourse. But even then you are unlikely to change most peoples’ minds that they have been deluded and taken for a ride—especially the older they are. Which is sad and frankly disturbing. One of the most disgusting things to me is a myopic person who is so intransigent, that they can’t for a moment believe they might be mistaken about something.
From looking at the line I was in voting, it’s no wonder this happened: these simple-minded geriatrics turned out in droves for their dictator.

The point being, an excellent personal choice at the expense of the greater whole?
I believe having a good, healthy personal foundation allows people to make better choices for their communities.
