23 petty, crazy and mindblowing reasons people have been told off on Twitter
Let’s face it, there’s a reasonable chance that Twitter – or X – is on its last legs, as active users head to other social media sites or drastically reduce their tweet rate.

Someone replied to this that I'm obviously determined to spread hate and negativity about anyone daring to be different. Which, to be fair, is true. https://t.co/pXFcQ7mPX3 pic.twitter.com/NpEEDMe40h
