I was recently asked about our (Oxide's) disposition to Twitter on the Peterman Pod[0], and the rationale for why we're no longer active there is pretty simple: the platform has become a cesspool of hate -- and it's antithetical to promoting a business (or any message, really). Aside from the morality of it (which is significant!), the hate itself is repugnant; it's not something that normal people want to be a part of in the long term.

All of this misery started when psychopaths like you started ruining peoples careers just for fun, Bryan Cantrill of Oxide.

Bryan did not hold him at gunpoint and forced him to click reject, he did that himself. Empathy is a core value of engineering.
