We are no longer friends. I miss the "old" him everyday.

Why the fuck are you censoring what you post? You're not going to get banned for wrongthink, this isn't reddit.

Not sure why you're being aggressive over someone taking precautions to protect themself.

This platform is growing, and I will take precautions to keep myself safe.
