you're waging war on their home field, where they can delete and modify the landscape to suit their needs in real-time. They can create soldiers out of thin air. Delete yours just as easily. Sun Tzu would call you "morons".

Twitter is only good for tracking Nazis at this point. To have an account or even share a link from it make the site evaluation worth more money. If you aren't there to track Nazis you are only help the enemy.
LOL, there's no battle. Twitter is a captive propaganda platform. By staying there, all you are doing is giving it a veneer of legitimacy and making money for Elon.
It's not Twitter. It's a billionaire's personal playground. He holds the keys and makes the rules from a marble palace. Ceding ground only makes sense if you had claim to that ground in the first place, which we never did.
Yes Blue sky is preaching to the choir. I come here for information. Where to go what to do who to listen to what journalist to subscribe to. I don’t have it in me anymore to argue with red voters but they do need truth and if you can provide that without being triggered, please do.
Disagree: I deleted my account after the seig heil. Being on Twitter means you add value to advertisers and, hence, money in Musk’s pocket. Subscribers and active users going down is a good thing, IMO.
its so cute how people will present staying on the nazi-owned and run site that is now designed to boost nazi propaganda as a noble battle instead of what it is; something between an addiction and just being very very weak-willed
Forgive me but I am just so thoroughly exhausted that I can’t continue fighting the bigots, dickriders and actual literal nazis.
Yes, I know that is their goal but even if I feel bad about it I just can’t anymore.😞
at 140 followers you don't see shit. you feel all nice and relaxed until you hit 500. then you're quote posting someone who forgot about the iraq war. at 5000 your cat post has been hijacked by blue maga. at 10k someone has been trying to quote post dunk on you for 3 days
twitter is manipulated, spoofed, mined, repressed, amplified, censored and any content created there is absolutely perverted to further musk's disinformation narrative. don't give it any oxygen.
counterpoint: trying to argue with nazis on the platform specifically designed for nazis and pretending like it's some epic war for the ages that will surely go down in the greatest of history books makes little sense
annoying courtier: and that's why you should keep debating the hitites, you're just ceeding ground by...

Whenever I see someone try to convince people to come back to Twitter I assume they're a Elon plant/right-wing grifter and block them with the quickness
I disagree hard. The right-wingers and batshit crazy people on twitter are frothing at the mouth for an argument. When you argue with them, you don’t change their mind, they just go doing ‘research’ to validate themselves. If you remove their opposition they will have nobody to argue with.
This argument would make more sense if there was anything to gained by "holding" ground on Twitter, when in fact they literally get more money by us staying there.
If all normal people just stop using Twitter, the battle is over and we win. They aren't interested in just hive-minding the simpletons they already have.
IDK, man. "Cedeing" is not the word that came to mind when leaving that toxic hellhole to the assholes. Like, there are no ideas over there to cede, just miserable hateful ppl triggered that ppl have identities beyond MAGA.
The people who love it there are pretty miserable by themselves, they can only "exaaaactly" themselves so much before it becomes boring and they start wondering where all the art went
yeah nah that guy's wrong lol, i'd like to just chat with my friends and see cool art and read funny posts from creators and streamers, not argue with nazis and stupid people. and i'd like to also feel at least somewhat safe while doing all that, and twitter is not that
That statement presumes investing our limited time on Twitter could change the minds of nazi and nazi adjacent users, (whose status is elevated on that platform.)
On the contrary, investing time to debate with nazis concedes that their beliefs and ideas are worthy of discussion and debate.

The fight now isn't on social media. Social media is only for organizing to take to the streets.
I'm all for a strategic retreat to gather forces for a winning battle.
