Exactly. I deleted my accounts on both since you don't get anything out from echo chambers anyway.

I returned back to look at Twitter again after blocking it for months and it is just as bad as Parler, but with more lunatics and rabid bots everywhere.

There are still very crazy users on Twitter especially those who fancy taking down 'The oppressive capitalist system™' if that suits you more.

All I can say to those who enjoy this is, let's see if you're willing to pay for it all soon. [0]

I mean, if my only two choices are a fairer form of capitalism or the resurgence of neo-Nazism, I guess I'll pick the former.

If the only two choices are the abolition of captialism or the resurgence of neo-Nazism, I'd still pick the former.

I'm being facetious, but to be fair to Twitter, there's a lot of "sub-cultures" within it. All extremes appear to be well represented. Parler appears to be 4chan with a nicer user interface.
