Won’t someone speak for the poor aggrieved racists and bigots whose bad behavior and awful opinions must be centered - so they can continually vomit on everyone, everywhere all the time‽
This breathless reporting on everyone finally fleeing Twitter is just midwesterners in diners for 2024.
they think they deserve unfettered access to every space, even if they just want it to have that control and the ability to come in to impose, repress, and harass minorities
to them, any marginalized groups carving out a space for themselves feels like they're having power taken away somehow
but it's totally fine for them to put their own communities in a walled garden of sorts. you don't hear neolibs talking about how we can bring places like kf and the chan sites "back into the fold" like you do with bluesky
that's true. power is often amplified by how you wield it. if you take away an avenue of oppression, their choices for amplification are diminished and it terrifies them
Do they cover the angle of how hard it is now to steal and forcibly trans white christian children, and how frustrating it is for some of us? It comes up a lot at my local DSA.
Today's main character blocked me because I said that her actual failure was thinking there were two Twitters instead of zero. There's X and the various places that aren't X and I'm happy to be here and not there.

Like I don't care how much they try to spin it, they're the fucking baddies.
