This is what happens when you ban people you disagree with from your platform. They make their own echo chamber, and eventually, any possibility of reason/sanity is lost.

Good! Twitter is free to police their platform how they want. More platforms and more choice is a good thing.

I think it's better for everybody. Nobody is on Twitter to have their minds changed.

well a changed mind can lead to some interesting enhancements in life.

people are missing out when they shut themselves out completely.

like we’ve all been wrong before, which means someone we disagreed with was at least right about something.

i think the bigger thing people have to be okay with is just letting things go after a certain point.

some people will argue until they are blue in the face

It isn't Twitter's purpose or obligation to outsource mental health counseling or deprogramming for their lunatic fringe. If you or anyone wants to try, you're free to do so on Trump's platform.

Related: does/will their Mastadon server support federation?

I am.

Not mentioning Mastodon, I thought BBC is kinda ok in their research?

Eh..

I maybe served too less of context, but another comment of yours indicates you know that I mean the fact that this trump stuff is a license-violating clone of mastodon? I have trouble making sense of your comment :)
