In case you didn't catch it yesterday, this is why I am no longer on Twitter. Maybe you'll consider joining me in this exodus. #deletetwitter

    I never understood Twitter. It just seemed like another time waster to me.

    Hi James. Thank you for fact checking Newsbud's 'Syria Under Siege' propaganda piece and setting the record straight on Sibel Edmonds and her lackey Spiro. I worked at Newsbud around this time last year, and left last August because of similar dishonest, self-destructive behavior from those two. You mentioned my show 'Mind Hack'on one of your episodes around that time, I think #145.

    Anyway, just wanted to connect with you and let you know I appreciate your work. If you and Broc ever need extra help w/ video post-production, now you know where to find me! :)

    I wonder if George Orwell would have been on Twitter, were he here today...

    No doubt, he'd have beaten 1984 followers!

    weaponisation and draconian censorship aside...

    Yes you are right, as far as actual engagement goes, it's a lovely idea, but doesn't actually exist...follow me...follow you...rage-tweets...nonsenical movements, and YES you nailed it...

    SOCIAL ENGINEERING!

    Lemmings stumble off the edge of that particular precipice daily in ever increasing, exponential numbers. I wholeheartedly support what you are doing and shall be joining the movement to, armed with a #hashtag and a condensed, simple explanation of decentralised, blockchain technology.

    You, sir, will be a greater loss to them than they to you.

    Thankyou, thankyou, thank YOU!

    This has needed to be a forefront agenda for some time.

    I know I have found my home and my people, time to unpack and roll up my metaphorical battle-sleeves.

    I've been thinking this over since I saw this same excerpt in your larger podcast about the beef your fact-checking. I only use Twitter to send out my links to the BitCoin faucets I hope to gain referrals for. I looked it up & I haven't gotten one referral from Twitter so..... Byby Twitter!

    There is always the ALTERNATIVE TO TWITTER -ZAPPL https://zappl.com
    Zappl is a micro-blogging site that runs on decentralized technology but average joe is better off without any of them if possible.

    Twitter will have to be deleted for what I wanted to know. Twitter is doing any fraud with us!

        I think Twitter used to be good. It pushed me further along the "waking up" route around 2011-12, mainly because I had cognitive dissonance about some of the tweets I was reading, and then clicked on their links...
        But my account has been dormant for the past few years - due to people following me just to promote their business to me; bots following me and then unfollowing as soon as I followed back; less engagement and more selling I suppose. In the early days I found it a very friendly medium.
