Anyone still on Twitter at this point for whatever their reasons, have to recognize what group they are in.
Sadly my local emergency services still uses them to let the community know what’s going on. Denver PD is still doing a good job updating their page and I wish they would move to Mastodon here sooner rather then later
You could suggest to connect their Xitter to a mastodon server so it automaticaly forward posts (crosspost), could be a good thing for a first move!
Yeah, I've seen people complain about bots on mastodon but generally I'm all for it. Especially for accounts that you don't interact with too much but more-so just want updates from.
Looking at my twitter feed it's immediately obvious what group I'm in; Gays. Gays everywhere.
It's not that easy for a lot of users. People created a network on it and they can't change so easily as theirs jobs depends on these networks.
That is true and is something those in control of these sorts centralized social media services count on. Why Reddit was so cocky about the impact of the protest just blowing over. Sort of did. We the people feed the powerful and cannot stop.
I was thinking about researcher and research. A lot of people working in these fields and people interested in these fields can't move to somewhere else. They would change but it's really hard and everyone has to move.
The way things are going they are not going to have much of a choice.
Yep, if you have a Twitter account you're a Nazi. Full Stop.
"If there’s a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there with him, you got a table with 11 Nazis."
My Mom told me I couldn't have a second helping of ice cream, she's LITERALLY Hitler!
Commenters will be seething against Elon Musk while simultaneously using his platform for 4+ hours a day and still pretend they're good people.
Like buying a Tesla at this point. You're a Nazi cunt if you do so 🤷
Damn, TIL I became a Nazi when I first visited my grandparents as a child. Thanks for letting me know, at least I can lean into it now. /s
