For those that can't stand Twitter's UI: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1345146328058269696.html

It's very painful to follow a conversation on Twitter. I'm not sure why they think the way they've done things makes sense.

It was never supposed to support conversation in the first place.

People were supposed to shoot short, simple, single messages and other people maybe react to this with their own short, single messages.

We are way way past that point.

It’s time for Twitter to evolve in so many ways.

Proper support in the UI for RTs with comments.

But honestly I'd prefer if they spent some fucking time upstaffing their user service and abuse teams. And if they could finally ban Trump and his conspiracy nutcase followers/network.

If the very light gray color of your comment is any indication, folks here didn't like what you said.

I certainly don't think that HN should ban you because of it, though.

Reinforcing the walls of your bubble doesn't make it less of a bubble. No matter left or right.

You shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions! To be clear, I'm about as far from "right wing" as one can get. I wasn't aware that standing up for the First Amendment rights of others was a partisan issue, though.

Now, I realize that -- in today's divided society -- I'm supposed to be completely on board with silencing those who hold different opinions or disagree with "our" beliefs ("canceling", I think it's called?) but, well, it just don't work like that.

See, I'm from the rural midwest (a self-proclaimed "country boy"), I drive a big 4WD truck, I ride a loud ass Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and there's three or four times as many guns in this house are there are people. My hometown, my family, my friends, and my acquaintances are all overwhelmingly Republicans -- including some of the people that I love and care for the most in this world -- yet, somehow, I've been a Democrat for my entire adult life.

Contrary to what some folks in "my" party seem to think, however, EVERYONE (still) has the right to their own beliefs and opinions -- and to express them -- no matter how ignorant, ill-informed, asinine, outright stupid, or batshit crazy they may be!

We have a saying around here in "my neck of the woods": I may not agree with what you say but I will fight for and defend to my death your absolute right to say it.

For the record, the only time I've even come close to attempting to "silence" someone or prevent them from exercising their rights has been at funerals -- as a (proud) member of the Patriot Guard Riders.
