Anonymous Vietnamese Bionicle Forums have their fair share of issues, I admit. But Twitter is by far the most unhealthy and toxic platform to exist.
>anyone you don’t like can be shut down by going back 10 years into his tweet history and pulling out a 2010 acceptable joke
>harassment of minors for allegedly being slightly racist
>the mere fact that every single comment is just people virtue signaling to their friends about how woke they are
What can I do as an American citizen to stop it? I am literally willing to give up some of my free speech if trump can pass something that limits nearly all internetspeak
Twitter needs to be shut down for political and mental wellbeing

twitter shows how fucking stupid people are and i love it.

All social media is a cancer to the modern discourse in society and I think its had a major hand in the perception of media (obviously), the dissemination of information, psyops and general political discourse.
A field that is typically best done in a longer, open and rational format, of which twiitter doesnt have by design in its character limit. So all refutations must be threads long, or simply be a quick witted insult (if there is any wit at all).
The options of viable discourse, and this is very particularly prescient on twitter, are limited and it regresses us down to a child-like, emotional, and frustrated state where we cannot perceive the people we are talking to, we cannot ascertain tone, voice inflection, body language etc.
All the smaller, but very vital parts that create the established platform for a rational level-headed discussion that doesn't end in violence of any kind. Essentially social media has destroyed the social contract humans have cultivated for thousands of years for an attention seeking dopamine hit to ambush their political opponents.

You're a retard. People will still act this way if twitter disappeared. Stop acting like the left and try to ban shit you don't like
Isaac Perez
Where will they go?
Oliver Cook
Twitter and all major social media should be nationalized. They are the public square, and white America can exert more control over them politically than it can culturally.
Ryder Allen
Same thing can be said for Zig Forums. You can’t have both, dumbass.
Camden Bell
I would gladly tank this shithole in a second if it meant social media were to disappear. Hell, I’d tank the internet altogether.
Logan Turner
Listen just leave social media. I don't use Twitter, Facebook, etc. I don't. I simply don't. It doesn't interest me. Nothing on there is anything I can't find anywhere else (and in better quality), the conversations are all banal, the advertisements are all creepily watching my every online move, everyone on there's a literal walking limbic system, the admins are completely insane, and moreover, the entire object of social media eludes me; as for the final outcome, as OP says, it is a toxic net-negative to have in YOUR life. You don't owe people your presence on social media. If you like me, if you wonder about me, you can text me, ring me, or come round and see me, and you know what? That's LIFE replacing a digital nothing. If you just asked me on social meda what I was doing, what the fuck is that compared to coming around and meeting me or talking to me like an actual human person? I don't know anons this world I was born into just isn't right
Christian Jackson
>tanking the entire internet
>for the sake of “muh politics”
I hate liberals too but come fucking on
Robert Williams
Just don't use twitter like that. Don't use any identifiable information and just use it to shit post and view news.
Dominic Barnes
If you haven’t noticed, the quality of writing and thinking has gotten worse as more and more people adopt social media.
Ryan Smith
It's not the same at all. That's a false equivalance and you know it. /Zig Forums/ is web 1.0.
Levi Moore
They can go on and on about how evil white people are and how all whites should be genocided and its totally fine but I tell 1 tranny to kill themselves and I get banned.
Its not like telling someone to kill themselves is violent or hate speech, its literally just a suggestion. Imagine getting banned for giving someone a suggestion towards literally anything else
Gavin Cook
Twitter - Sup up major political and social issues in a few hundred characters, hot takes and petty squabbling. Whoever has the most followers and gets the most retweets wins and if you have no clout, you will never be heard.
vs
Reddit - A sprawling lefty hug box wherein dissent is openly clamped down on. The entire front page is filled with today's approved political mantra, from the same few subreddits - that are moderated by the same few paid people.
The internet is definitely a dangerous place.
Elijah Sanders
>muh precious internet
>nooo how will I order useless chink crap from amazonirino!!!!!!!
>my multiplayerino gamerinos noooooo
Fuck off cancerous zoomer. The internet needs to be nuked and destroyed and never built ever again. It's the most vile, cancerous, degenerate thing ever made by humans.
Camden Morris
It's not even about an identity. It's about the simple fact that you can go on there, see all this insane shit, have no affect on anything, and come away feeling that the world you inhabit is very small and mob-ruled. It is a net negative. No one argues to have their mind changed on Twitter, they argue to show how devoted they are to their opinion. It's not about discourse. It's about fighting other people online for your opinion. And it's not normal or desirable in its conduct or its outcomes.
Tyler Bennett
>Wondering that a service populated by people dumb enough to shitpost under their real name is complete cancer.
Twitter is literally only for corpo advertisement and complete fucking retards.
The IQ meridian of people who aren't on there for commercial purpose is probably below the worst african country.
Ayden Gutierrez
>I’d tank the internet altogether
And then we'd go back to stupid uninformed masons/rothschild pawns like pre-internet people. No thanks.
Blake Morales
It is far worse now then it was then. Mid-2000’s was the only time when the internet was sane and that was because there was still gatekeeping.
Elijah Stewart
> the same few paid people.
If it wasn't bad enough, you're telling me they pay the jannies too?
Aiden Harris
The internet is cancer
And counter productive to society honestly in the long term stupid coomer
Nicholas King
Twitter isn't real life user, the amount of actual twitter users is very very small compared to the actual world. I know what you mean, i've seen countless posts with absolutely ridiculous shit that couldn't stand even a little bit of scrutiny, twitter is a very bad place to have any sort of meaningful discourse, the limiting of characters devolves everything to snark and like you said fighting other people. Don't treat it so seriously.
Juan Wilson
Take incels for example. Completely not normal.
Never before has anything in the history of our species come even CLOSE to the level of anger, bitterness, hatred, and general existential despair that incels possess. Nothing else in the realm of "women hating" has been this organised, this discussed, or this deadly. And it's crazy.
If you listen to these incels, these are the people that fell through the cracks, that needed help, that need things like community, and culture, and family, and familiarity, and love, and the feeling that they live in a fair society which advocates the wholesome sense that everyone deserves to be loved and at some level understood by another human being.
They know that's not the world anymore. But they were raised to expect that it was. A lot of it was to do with social media, a lot of was to do with the emergence of people with egos too big to handle, a lot of it is due to people getting the wrong ideas about their own selves because they have 5,000+ "friends" on Facebook. It's completely up-ended the social norms of our species and corrupted and turned it into something dystopian and Huxley-esque.
I'm not an incel, but everything is so fucked and it is producing more and more fucked-up things. And the problem is this digital menace which seems to have replaced some grounded self of reality and one's awareness of themselves within it. I don't know. Tiring. Tiring. It's just led to a generation of people that can't function in a democratic society with a differing of opinions.
Julian Perry
Why wouldn’t we ban shit we don’t like
Christian Diaz
In the threads detailing how most popular subreddits are run by the same people, one of them was outed as someone who works for some PR/Ad agency as a full time redditor.
Andrew Howard
same
Elijah Morales
me and the gang have been finding white girls trying to get people canceled, searching nigga and fag in their tweet history and then plastering the tweets alongside their face, threatening to call their school job etc. ive gotten 3 of them to delete their account in the past two days
fuck these people completely destroying kids lives for saying the n word in some stupid snapchat video
Colton Peterson
>the internet isn’t only counter-productive but also degenerate
Blake Howard
Solid truth, agreed on all points. I deactivated all my social network accounts a few years ago for these very reasons. None of them are benign.
Dylan Richardson
>thematic themes
Jaxon Taylor
And as always a dumb croatian in the thread shilling against everything he and and his dumb croatian can't understand.
