    Twitter continues to be broken. Each twitter hyperlink gives me an error message.

      The tweets are from 2020, and the person who posted them seems to have closed their account in the meantime.

            For the record, I'm downvoting specifically because of the way your wording implies that someone can't be pro-democracy and also reference twitter.

            But also it's really reductive to act like someone referencing twitter is "ignoring some world issues"

            But really the reason you most deserve a downvote is because the article works perfectly fine if you skip the intro paragraph. If you decline to read the article, that's not an anti-twitter stance, it's just foolishness.

            Also, my dude, the tweet was posted in 2020 and the article wasn't much later. You're going to retroactively snub the author for that?

              Really good points. And worth considering.

              However, I stand by what I wrote. Your argument about "wording" is, in my opinion, inappropriate for our situation. We need to be stand up people, to take a position one way or another.

              Arguing that the issue of of pro-democracy and Twitter are not related is your stand. You down voting, whether in the guise of talking about "snubbing" or "wording" - is you taking a stand.

              I stand against the things that Twitter has now come to represent. You stand in a different place.

                I am definitely taking a stand that you can be pro democracy and also reference twitter. Especially in posts that were made five years ago.

                Note that I didn't say they're "unrelated". But it's quite a weak relation in this case.

                You're reducing things to a extreme level of binary thinking and taint by association. Insisting that people take a position "one way or the other" is too reductive. I also stand against the things Twitter has now come to represent, despite not expressing it the exact same way you do.
