Elon actually hands these out to people who don't want them because they were unpopular and an easy means of telling chuds apart from... uh, chads? There's a good chance hers is a forced advertisement and not something she's actually paying for.

So are an insanely large amount of people.

I don’t think people on here realise that we are in an echo chamber ourselves and often times not very forgiving of people with differing opinions, where I would assume we should want to bring people to our point of view by being accepting and trying to educate on our beliefs.

So in this echo chamber of what 50K MAUs it can sometimes be hard to keep sight of the fact we are the smallest of minorities in this space and what we see is absolutely not a representation of what most people in the world care about.

I’ve never used Twitter but I’m not going to shit on other people for using it.

Were you on Reddit when they had loads of jailbait subs? Would you like to labelled as part of that same group just because you shared the same space?

Does it not seem reasonable that some people might use Twitter as a means to keep in the loop and not isolate from the crazies, Nazis, bigots or whatever. You can’t converse with the other side if you ain’t where they are at and if we all stay in our own echo chambers what are we really achieving other than a self-righteous circle jerk?

To be abundantly clear I am including myself in this too and not just calling you out. But this place is exhausting at times, I am the most cynical person I know and this place really gives me a run for my money at times. Even in the less serious stuff, like you can’t oppose Linux here you’ll be downvoted to shit for even having a different opinion. You have to use FOSS everything, and you should even be eating open source food 😂

Actually, there are only a few hundred people on Twitter. The rest are bots.
