 opened twitter for the first time in weeks because someone who didn't know i'd stopped using it sent me a message and just during those brief few minutes the amount of vile racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and far right conspiracist drivel i saw was unreal, why is anyone still on there?? 
 majority of what i saw was andrew tate-esque "russell brand speaks out against the Establishment™ and Big Pharma™ that's why channel 4 are trying to deplatform him!!!!!" as if he hasn't been a creep for decades. if the dispatches thing does mention him i won't be surprised in the slightest 
 @51e8a3fc same, I do not understand how anyone can put up with it, whether I check out a link I get sent I always end up managing to see something else upsetting or enraging. I'm so glad I left
