In process of deactivating Twitter...

Hint: it's a dumpster fire.

I no longer use/check Twitter

For now, instead of simply vanishing, I wish to explain why.

I am open to those who work at these platforms as human beings.

I would be willing to be part of creating a new social media platform, one with the intention and structure that inevitably serves the higher goals of compassion, dignity, & gratitude.

With love,

as the required human traits are inherently counter to the objective of Twitter and its rivals, we must use other avenues to foster our cooperation.

Importantly, whilst I detest and reject the actions of today’s social media companies...
