   @mtsw God, this has been driving me nuts. So many people who swore up and down they were really, really into fighting bad things, and when asked to sacrifice *posting to an audience that he immediately demonstrated was small and shrinking*… whoa, whoa, I can’t sacrifice *that*.

     I'm really torn on people who know staying on Twitter is wrong between thinking it's advantageous to admit that, yes, it totally sucks that he has bought the site and forced us into this mess, and also saying the ask here (merely stop posting) is so unimaginably small and tiny.
