It's interesting how none of the talk about whether people are "ceding ground" by leaving X, etc, seems to engage with how unsafe that environment is for some people. And I don't mean uncomfortable. A high level of visibility over there has long had a cost, and that cost kept getting higher.

when musk allowed those people to see my tweets again, the platform became unsafe for me.
now i’m a nobody here and pretty happy with that.

One, real guy, name, send me my address & threads to kill me
People like you, I can’t imagine the toll
I'd argue it's the exact opposite, it's finally impossible to stay.
And it just stinks.
In legit companies there are safeguards of who can access that info, what happens if unauthorized incidents, what they will share with gov / police, etc. Zero trust in any of that there now.
you won't leave, because of follower count, or you built this or what ever reason...
but in order for me to get to you, i have to seriously do damage to my psyche...
Maybe you can make a small, temporary difference there but the poison will win in the end.
Even on the mental/physical health front I didn't even realize how much it was making my brain stuff and chronic pain/fatigue worse until I was out. I had just been crab boiled into thinking that's just how my brain felt normally. Couldn't enjoy my hobbies or work on anything.
It's very different when the doxing leads to Proud Boys showing up at your house with guns when your kid's at home.
on the ceding thing... given the volume of fake/foreign/for-pay accts there are... there is no 'ground to be ceded'. The ground is an illusion. It's a false environment. Shadow-boxing with 'others' who either don't exist, don't care, or both.
And even if you stumble across a real person, most of them aren’t discussing in good faith. They’re just being controversial for clicks.
There was a post this AM with a link to @fortune.com article stating AI concludes Musk X now global leader in MISINFORMATION.
Will try to find.

How is that ceding ground? That’s what winning looks like. The faster X becomes dust and tumbleweeds, the better.
oy vey.
and raise awareness of how some are harmed by this site too?
I'd really like if you guys over here included the tweets your talking about for reference and so everyone can see what ppl are actually saying, experiencing, and arguing
we benefit from being explicit
I'm reconsidering, though. Especially since the most essential Xitter account, jaythechau, is now on Blue Sky.
“I bought a ticket to my local Nazi convention to prove to them how reasonable and civilised I am! My friends are upset with me attending for some reason”
I can handle different opinions but I can’t handle names, or any kind of negative treatment…inspire and lift up those around us!
Inflammatory and dangerous rhetoric goes unchecked and a whole bunch of MAGA types really just need liberals around to give them some sort of validation they so desperately want and need.
Plus, leaving means less ad revenue. None of us need to be supporting our own abuse.
