Oh I disagree greatly.

If people didn't want to use twitter, they wouldn't and it would be gone. But users do use it, and even the folks who tell me they're upset ABOUT Twitter, most choose to be there.

Whatever the reason they make that choice, at some point that's on them.

If the choice is "use the platform everyone else is on" vs "don't exist", many people will choose the former.

That's not the same thing as wanting to use the platform.

If you feel like not being on twitter means "don't exist" as an individual... I feel like that also is a choice / lifestyle you chose.

I can't imagine letting a service like that define things for me like that.

Yes, that's very clear. Everyone is super impressed with how free your thinking is.

However, you completely missed the point of my comment by interpreting my hyperbole so literally.
