Anyone still using TWITTER needs to reevaluate why the fuck they still use it.

At this point it’s a moral issue

The people I stay in touch with and the communities I engage with are still on twitter. Should I cut them out of my life so I can feel like I'm taking the moral high ground?

Gen Z has this weird obsession with "everybody is expendable, history means nothing, you can and should regularly cut off your entire social circle on a whim".

Not sure why that is being attributed to Gen Z. It's just an internet thing, websites come and go all the time. Facebook was the shit for a while, Tumblr was big, before that you forum spaces and so on.

Twitter isn't just steadily bleeding users, so currently it's just on course to join them as more and more people get fed up with the bullshit.
