      Yea… It’s also talks about starting to cross post to alternative platforms, in addition to Twitter :/

      Each time we post on Twitter/X, without also posting it on another platform such as Bluesky, we help maintain Elon Musk’s power and wealth, which he uses to amplify voices of hate and misinformation. It’s time to stop being complicit.

      A lot of people believe institutions wouldn’t betray them, wouldn’t fall, wouldn’t fail, be that corporate or state. People are starting to awake to the fact that Twitter was bought by a technofascist to undermine democracy all across the globe. The sooner people are realizing it, the better.

      If any of you still have Twitter accounts, lock them! Get a Mastodon account if you don’t have one yet, you might need one if the censorship storms of Project 2025 will be striking. Get one on BlueSky, just be skeptical that it’s still a corporation, and things can go south there too, especially if US based one and will be expected loyalty from Trump.

      Thing is people leave and spend a day or two on alternatives, don’t see the traction they got on Twitter and then return.

      Bluesky is starting to get there but you have to have some patience and stick to the decision to leave.

      • Thing is, people leave and decide after a day or two they’re comfortable hanging out with Nazis, so they go back to the Nazi bar.

        I genuinely think worse—far worse—of anybody with a Xhitter account, to the point of presuming that they can’t be trusted with anybody non-male and non-white. There are consequences, in the end, to supporting fascism, no matter what excuses people contrive.

      I mean, you’d probably at least advertise where you’re going to move, before you leave the platform
