That's what I thought, but then stopping making Musk even wealthier was my contribution to the fight.
X is not the battlefield, it's just the arms dealer.
I have no desire to wade into the mire. My desire is that every decent person will close down their X account. All celebrities, sports people and governments. My desire is that advertisers will flee the sinking ship. Fascists and prurient curiosity is keeping X going.
But most are still there, political leaders, the Royals, business people etc etc. Neither you or I are King Canutes. My recent anti Trump comment there has been seen by over a million people and hopefully he might have read it. That’s what it’s about, getting through to them, big or small.
It's a conundrum that's for sure. I hate X and Musk with a passion. But I still offer support to (mainly) Zelensky's or Ukraine related and anti Trump posts by liking and reposting.
It's great that many decent people with huge following have either moved from X altogether or use Bluesky as well.
But what comes first? All big hitters closing their X accounts or the millions of minions withdrawing their support for the big hitters? As I said, a conundrum 😕
Bluesky's growth has been phenomenal and hopefully it will continue and draw people in.
Well, I have never imagined that anything I said would have any impact on these people. In all the years I was there, I don’t think I brought 1 person over to my side, as indeed, no one ever swayed me to theirs. Maybe you have greater influence? Maybe Trump saw your comment and will now change?
The more decent people over here, the better. Mine remains open primarily as a resource for use here. Almost zero interaction there now. I also recall someone writing that inactive accts get taken over by Bots Tweeting your name.

We need to not be enablers. Stand on your principles.

He wades into the mire so that we don't have to.
I was going to bring my point home with performative dance, but have some Trek instead.
