Circled back to the other place to gather a list of people I follow over there and was greeted by a racist tweet aimed at the British Chinese community…my kids are half Chinese…no looking back now.

Well done Jake!

It seems nice here so far. 10 minutes in and I’ve not had anything weird happen…quite the thing on a social media platform.
