Do not let accounts or words like this influence you. This is not normal.

Do not let their wording get into your head.

To the few newbies here: this is neither generally considered cool, nor was it normal until a few years ago.

It is not normal. There was a short time when I also became way too aggressive here, minus the homophobic part, until I realised that this was not me.

I mostly share measurable facts here, and yes, often my own opinion too, because this is my X account.

I try to do it as honestly and humanly as possible, while finding the balance between sometimes entertaining crypto slop, serious news, and investigative work.

Sometimes I am harsh. Sometimes I am angry. But it is always based on something.

Nobody has to agree with me on everything.

But people like the one below bring absolutely nothing to this space.

Just hate, rot, and comment-section brain disease that makes every serious discussion worse.

I insta-block them.

Because there is no reason to give oxygen to people who only show up to make the room dumber.

More of you should do the same.

Let these little farts scream into the void until they learn how to behave.
