A fast-warming region of Antarctica is getting greener with shocking speed. Satellite imagery of the region reveals that the area covered by plants increased by almost 14 times over 35 years — a trend that will spur rapid change of Antarctic ecosystems. #Climatechange #Antarctica https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-03219-2

@mcfate thank you for this feedback. Your response is appreciated.

@mcfate looks like you unequivocally oppose anyone to use, visit, or interact with twitter in any way, manner, or form. Would you believe that there is someone else here on CoSo that constantly monitors, interacts, and engages on Twitter and at times posts said interactions when someone posts a bad review of CoSo, entices people to come to CoSo, and gathers other information from Twitter. Would you still wholeheartedly and categorically state he should not do so?

5. You don't know me and trying to make inferences from a few posts with regards to my state of mind is ludicrous.
6. I could have easily muted/blocked you without engaging but chose to make a statement: "I am still on Twitter for a reason" and stated why. I am not here to change your mind but to let you know why some people continue to have a presence on Twitter.

@mcfate
3. 4Chan and its offspring 8kun are garbage and lack anyone with any credibility or authority on specific subject matter. Again, I am online to learn not to be overwhelmed by senseless diatribes. Were I a sociologist/psychiatrist/psychologist looking to study people that visit these sites it would probably be a gold mine.
4. Am I upset and having "some sort of meta-discussion about how put out I'm making you feel"? No, but I am disappointed. 2/X

@mcfate It is interesting and entertaining how this conversation evolves:
1. My main point was to state a reason why I still use Twitter and gave one example: to follow specific persons that continue to be on the platform that are not present anywhere else. Mark Pitcavage
2. Yes, Twitter has become a cesspool but you can minimize it through filters and who you follow. My goal is to learn from those I follow and therefore my continued presence. 1/X
