It's a question as old as time itself, the history of the human race. Tools and how we (choose) to use them... Do we act on impulse? Hit our neighbor over the head with our hammer. Or, do we act with (good) intent (control impulse) and use our hammer to help our neighbor, build a house, a home, a community (of man)?
So true! I actually still haven't given up on twitter, but have been more purposeful about how I use it to engage the people I care about. AND I started a Mastodon account. ;-)
