    I finally deleted Twitter from my phone a couple weeks ago.

    I only used it for porn for the last 3 years and hadn’t been on in over a month but I saw an article on here and was curious. So I opened it up and looked to see how the porn situation was going. I was going to keep it around if I could find a bit of good porn. But I scrolled and scrolled down through my feed and I only had politics, bigots, ragebait, and hateporn. I hadn’t realized it had gotten so bad… I also have no idea where all my porn creators fled to.

    Oh well, nothing of value was lost.

      Exact same reason why I still use Reddit via the web. Not because I like it but because I have porn there.
