while I understand the desire to keep up the pressure to divest from the mechanism of fascist propagandizing, I think it is important to keep that pressure gentle and empathetic. Consider: you and I both live in the USA, a country whose crimes *vastly* exceed the troubling dalliances of Twitter as a platform. Twitter has advocated for torture but the good old US of A has actually *done* it. So why are we still here? Cost of moving is high, no alternative is perfect. Same as for Twitter.
