> why would you ever give your time to such a toxic platform

Did you ask this back in 2008?

As someone who was ridiculed, outcasted and made fun at uni for not using social media because I didn’t want to submit my data online, it’s finally nice to find people are actually starting to realise this; just twelve years too late.

I agree, it’s a choice where you feel the consequences pretty much every day when it comes to Facebook or Instagram.

But Twitter? Pretty much nobody uses it for day-to-day communication, so you can opt-out with no consequences.
