"I'm going to stay at the predator party because otherwise there will only be predators at the predator party" is something I almost understand, as a contrary person who will die on the most ridiculous hills... But you know, the quickest way to kill X is to leave them alone. THEY HATE EACH OTHER

they're not gonna just stay there happily without their chosen victims to torment. they literally can't be happy if they're not abusing us. the quickest way to punish them is to remove access to us. there's a reason even Trump can't manic post Truth Social into really mattering.

I think folks really just want to justify why they don't want to leave. And you know, as someone whose ability to pay their bills rested mostly on my twitter reach, I GET IT! It was scary to abandon ship! But sometimes, man, it is not worth it.

If they're trying to justify staying/not leaving, then it means they feel guilty. (I have half the number of followers here that I had on Twitter in October 2022 … and the same on Mastodon, and you know what? I've got the same reach and I'm not propping up Dilbert Stark's nutsack-scented nazi bar.)

Oh so much of bullshit is ppl doing everything to break their brain so they don’t have to look at that feeling, you know? And like, my friends, making yourself do it is hard but that is the hardest part. It is not worth breaking your brain to avoid doing

yeah. I mean sometimes we gotta make hard choices! and I think that the important part of doing that is being okay with folks not agreeing with your choice, because you know you have considered all your options and truly believe it is the best one you could make. if you're defensive... well.
