#23I'd like to call out that individual responses to this don't matter. What matters is if Twitter remains a place for public discourse. So long as we allow public discourse to happen on private platforms that aren't held responsible for maintaining the availability, accountability, and freedom (as in speech) of these public forums, Twitter will continue to be problematic.

#27“I’m moving to Canada if Trump gets elected.” Remember that crowd?

#30No plans on joining any social media platform and don't forsee that changing.
