I just joined Twitter. My mistake perhaps was listing LGBTQ in my bio, and mentioning Ordinal Theory there as well. I also mine, and am a programmer (not bitcoin related). I was listening to a Twitter spaces recently and was excited to get asked to go up onto the stage by a host who sounded polite. Upon accepting the invite and before my microphone even went live, I was verbally accosted and abused with every slur imaginable. In a foolhardy attempt to protect my dignity, I tried arguing back, but was drowned out by too many hostile phones.

Here's the worst part: over the last week I've been orange pilling some personal acquaintances of mine. They happened to be listening in on the space at the time with me. In a single day my follower count on Twitter (I just joined two days ago) went from 19 to where it is now—3.

I'm so fucking embarrassed dude. Like fuck. So I drank some good beer at least. Just licking the wounds. Wish people could revisit their worldviews every once in a decade.

Anyway, someone reached out and told me Stacker.News is probably the best signal and smartest crowd of hard but progressive bitcoiners so I joined the other day. Impressed so far.

Thanks for listening.
