I'm Not F*cking Leaving

Quitting X? The Guardian just announced it will stop posting on X, formerly known as Twitter. Here's why I think they're wrong.

I'll preface and say that The Guardian if you don't know it, is a British news outlet that is historically a 'newspaper of record' and is generally well respected.

For context, here's what they had to say about leaving X:

"This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism."

Now, some of this may well be true—disturbing content is likely to be present on every social media platform.

And every newspaper, blog, forum and other forms of media for that matter.

And that's my point; not everyone you encounter in life you will either agree with or will find pleasant.

But everyone is different and has different views. And guess what? That's ok.

I prefer to engage in dialogue regardless of people or platform.

That's why you'll find me engaging with everyone, everywhere, even if I don't particularly like them.

I'll leave you with a quote that I like when I think about this topic.

Martin Luther King once famously said "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools"

What's your thoughts on this?
