   Honestly, I’ve been guilty of this in the past, but the sheer condescension I’m seeing from some people on here about those who choose to remain on Twitter for the present for whatever reason is gross and tiresome.

   You are not morally superior just because you’re here and not there.

     @dynamicsymmetry Thank you. I’m mostly here, but some people I care about have not made the switch so I check in there still. Granted, now it’s just the list I made of “people I care about who aren’t in the fediverse” and I access it through TweetBot (no ads), but I’m probably still a MDU and therefore enriching that fascist billionaire bozo.

     Moral purity is for clearer-cut things than whether you occasionally use a social media platform.

     I understand that for many people, quitting Twitter was a moral choice. I’d like to invite those people who are questioning why anyone would stay to consider that holding onto a space you worked hard to cultivate despite hostile encroachment by fascists is also a moral choice, even if it’s not the one you made.

     I’m moving closer to quitting Twitter, but my stance on it is still currently what it was from the beginning, which is to say: “Why should I leave? He’s the one who sucks.”
