Twitter is now an American right wing disinformation machine interfering in global politics. Your participation in it, is collaboration and nothing less.

Exactly and that's why I left. I had Elon blocked the short time I was on there. Funny thing is they refuse to permanently delete my account and it's been months.
This is what Musk wanted. He really didn’t care that he tanked the app. For his money, he got just what he wanted, up and running. And he didn’t have to build it from scratch.
and one of the worst things is sex workers and producers are still advertising there as if nothing's going on because that's their biggest advertising platform.
Xitter should be banned by ALL democracies until it can prove that it is capable of curating civilised, fact-based dialogue. I don’t care if it’s left or right leaning but it has to be civil and truth (actual, factual truth).
If all countries do it together we’ll cope w/- Trump & Musk’s tantrum.
I tried to stay and attempt to inject some little reality but the algorithm now buries everything even slightly progressive and promotes nazis, zionists and Maga lunatics. When the site got owned by the Maga camp it's no longer salvageable.
Not to mention you have to pay in order to even show up in the replies otherwise you get buried under all the blue checks that get put to the front. Definitely kills proper discourse when you have to shift through all the blue check nazis
Bluesky just isn't a good platform 🤷♀️
And I can use a similar argument as you are to impugn you for supporting child labor, and a number of other wicked things, depending on what products and services you use.

I've sent a feedback report to bluesky about this, I regularly see accounts with 5 figure follower counts get almost no engagement on some posts. Idk if it's a user apathy problem or an algorithm problem, but I think bluesky needs to focus more on elevating smaller voices. It's what make tiktok big.
I keep one foot in to keep an eye on the moron soup. Each of us should engage with the other place as little or as much as we like. But if everyone puts their fingers in their ears and sings ‘la la la’ with closed eyes, then the bad guys over there will get away with more things.
Yup. I deactivated the day after the election results. Twitter had been boring since Elon bought it. It serves as his overpriced personal journal and nothing more. I'm glad Bluesky is taking off.
Yep there was a wave of heightened misinformation over the past 48hrs during which I amongst many apparently were excommunicated - no loss other than inability now to shitpost fascist scum directly
Agree. Get off that puerile platform. No one is going to convince the Trump supporters there to act and think differently. Starve anything owned by Muskrat.
I’d truly question that it’s “American”.
It’s owned by a South African, and promoting Russian talking points.
Twitter hasn’t been US American since Dorsey left.
No you only need a handful of bigger independent journalists keeping an eye out but most like 99% shouldn’t be on there. It’s supporting a deranged fascist regime leading to violence across the globe.
Good idea. Unless I'm missing something, BlueSky doesn't allow us to set alerts for specific accounts. Twitter does, and that's how I know the county sent something out.
Would be an interesting question/suggestion for the Bluesky devs. Seems like a worthwhile feature, and one that would help to drive widespread adoption of the platform
Nothing anyone has ever said is worth holding onto their Twitter accounts, and by extension funding a literal Nazi, for. Screenshot any meaningful tweets and get your accounts closed down. The warmth you’ll feel no longer funding a fascist will quickly heal any sense of loss felt, I promise you.
I'm finding it rarer and rarer to encounter someone I want to follow who isn't on Bluesky. However I suspect too many are still two timing us with Shitler.
I don't understand why Europe don’t just block X in their countries already. Are they not worried that what happened in the U.S. election could happen to them?
Why if you keep pointing out what they don’t see. They like repetition. You don’t have to interact with anyone you just have to keep posting what we see here What’s happening that they’re not seeing over and over again. Lists of truth. No, not my opinion truth
If we could get the media to stop reporting on it. It isnt like the white house isnt putting out briefings newsworthy enough. Noone meeds to look on X for content anymore.
I left twitter, facebook, instagram, last year after the election! Recently I left TikTok! I will NOT support any propaganda platform owned by a tyrant! 💪 I enjoy Bluesky and Substack!
Well fucking said! Excuse my language! That’s why I left Twitter. New here, but I must say, I’m sick of seeing cute cats and dogs. Much more pertinent and democracy ending events happening around US!
Agree so much. Why make a grey area to help them. Why are news channels still going there too? Like they have the words to change the world. Heroes. It is not twitter anymore it is x. And an x user is an x user. Not someone who opposes the site. Britain is bad for this
And also people crying at the abuse they get on there. Stupid people. Have lost respect for everyone still using that platform that isn't a stinking incel
Ok. But why isn’t Meta classed as such?
They facilitated for Cambridge Analytica to manipulate elections. Zuckerberg hasn’t shown he supports democracies, has he?
And not participating is retreating and letting it's lies go unchallenged. Musk hates having his bullshit called out to the point where he wants to change community notes which means the pushback is working. If you really want to fight back that's the place you have to do it.
I agree with this generally but the disabled community was huge on Twitter and as a result many disabled people have connections & people who donate to them there. These are ppl living in poverty with no support so I understand why they stay.
Most social media is getting to be that way, if not already. Facebook forces so much right wing junk when you just want to see what your friends are up too, it's unreal.
That's bullshit. Yes Twitter (it'll never be X) is full of right whinge lies but running away won't change that. I'll keep my Twitter account open to challenge the lies I come across and keep up with the many useful accounts that are still there.
Help spread the word, just dropped last night only Canadians can sign this 📣 Petition to revoke Elon Musk's dual citizenship status, and revoke his Canadian passport effective immediately. Please sign, share and thank you 🤘

I don't think so. If you have an X account you're supporting a nazi. If you're sorting a nazi then you are a nazi. If you're a nazi you should follow on Hitler's footsteps and kill yourself.
It really is a cess-pit. I had occasion to go there yesterday for something completely politics-unrelated, and I was flooded with all the lies and pure hate. I was glad to get out of there!
It’s really obnoxious that we have 24/7 posts here from accounts that are also on x. I only know this because they are quoted in the news feed on my phone.

Oh and, calling those cunts out when the mood strikes.
They are stuck in that closed information loop with them.
Are you gonna put its users in reeducation camps too?
The energy we need.

F’ Elon bought it
I get very few likes and RP here. I miss my larger reach
which took me years to accomplish —did it the old fashioned way.
It’s very helpful to repost ppl like Mark Elias, Lawrence Tribe, Meidas Touch etc.
Powered by hate like that of early 20th century Germany but supercharged by technology.
What would the world look like if Goebbels had the internet and Twitter?
For everyone else, if you haven't already, delete it. Good riddance
It’s owned by a South African, and promoting Russian talking points.
Twitter hasn’t been US American since Dorsey left.
You can't fight what you don't know.
But absolutely, for most people it's not necessary.
1. I like to keep an eye on the opposition. (Navy thing: Know your enemy.)
2. My county provides valuable wildfire updates over it.
Otherwise, I agree.
I did that myself for awhile because I had a relatively large following & was monetized.
IMO, the only way to make a statement against Xfascism is to delete the X acct entirely.
My 14 yr old X acct is now deleted.
I’m here cause I wanna be one of the first to spread my misinformation.
You new to apps?
Is where everyone needs to be.
Retreating to bubbles doesn't work.
By using it minimally we cost Muskovite money and degrade its value.
And going to Twitter is just retreating to a fascist bubble.
Doubtless, you will object to my books next because they are on Amazon.

Yet you offer no strategy forward.
These are not binary problems.
See wicked problems.

Btw, I have 104 friends
I'm a professional Steve Coogan fan. His BIGGEST fan. That's all. It's people like us that make him what he is.
Using Amazon, using X, using anything Trump-supporting only further supports Amazon, X. Boycott
See the books of Brexorcism.
Do y’all get it yet?

They want to repeal the law of gravity and make a province of Cuba and call it Cubec .
Don't expect BlueSky to self censor for you.

But I'll take your word for it.
They facilitated for Cambridge Analytica to manipulate elections. Zuckerberg hasn’t shown he supports democracies, has he?
Bluesky is not.
HAHAHAHAHA
I also repost reliable info to throw a monkey wrench into the works. Plus it pisses off the nutters over there, which makes me smile.
Everyone else will celebrate!

That's why I am here.
Deleted it, so I cannot log in at all. Even if the fever cooks my brain.
Sorry, it’s GONE!
