Some days I think I will join Twitter

[TNNurse]

and see how many people like Trump would block me the first day.

It is a pleasant fantasy.

1. I did the same thing

Still not blocked. The problem is he doesn't read.

6. I keep commenting on his tweets and I would LIKE to get blocked by tRump.

But i do not follow him. I don't want to add to his followers numbers (even though when you look at them it is obvious many of them are bots). Can you get blocked without being a follower?

2. I've considered it.

I think it would be a great place to practice my Insult of the Day. I've already got them written through July of next year, but that's only because he makes it so easy.

3. Couldn't live without Twitter

I find Twitter to be absolutely essential. You only see the tweets of the people you follow*, so I have a very small and select few that I follow. I always know immediately if something big happens. And I mean immediately, with no delay. I can follow on my PC or on my phone. When I'm out, I'm always connected. And I'm not harassed with nonsense because I follow so few people. And I like that the tweets are pushed to me. I don't have to do anything, unlike for example having to open a browser and load (or constantly refresh) a webpage (like DU).

And I almost never tweet anything. However, anyone can communicate with "famous" people, like for example your favorite actors on TV shows. Some of them, and people like Josh Marshall, etc. have responded or retweeted me occasionally. It is nice to be able to communicate like that.

*You can also create separate groups of users whose tweets you can see in separate scrollable lists. This is useful because since you aren't following them, their tweets don't show up in your main feed. You only see them when you want to.

4. Eight of the people I follow were blocked by Trump

He's a vindictive little creep and it feels good to slam his tweets. A psychological victory. Otherwise his Russian bots make it look like everyone is on his team.

Yesterday when he was bullying the mayor of San Juan, the bots just kept posting the MAGA memes and anti-liberal stuff all day. It is worth it to fight back. They are incapable of truly understanding the nuances of our politics and culture so they always trip themselves up.

Of course their beloved orange shit gibbon is no better, so real Americans need to call him out daily.

5. One of humanity's most insidious creations.

And the interface fucking blows. Always has. My advice: stay away.

7. I joined when DU was hacked.

I really enjoy reading Twitter. I'm just careful about who I follow. There are some really determined and talented reporters on issues like the hacked election, legal matters relating to the investigations, etc. My senator, Bob Casey, posts a lot of very important information about what the GOP is up to.

I get the very latest news there most of the time. No one has blocked me that I know of.
