31. I don't visit much Social Media

Mon Jan 12, 2026, 08:33 PM

Jan 12

I have an account on BlueSky but I mostly retweet. I deleted my Twitter account before Musk took it over and am not a big fan of the people on Twitter and even the left that are still on there seem addicted to the site.

She does get a lot of blow back on Twitter, I have seen it myself. I remember when a third string NFL running back was attacking her over something Jimmy Dore was pushing which was Force the Vote which was really just an excuse to not vote for Pelosi for Speaker of the House following the 2020 election. What followed that was a very toxic online mob attacking her which is one of the reasons why I don't have a Twitter account anymore.

That part is nothing new and is mostly people that spend too much time online. When I went to the Fight the Oligarchy Tour in Tempe most of the people there weren't like that at all. They weren't even like many here at DU and they were actually further left than me based on their T-shirt messages. I'm not quite bold enough to wear political messages in public.
