I have been pretty chill with the CW related discussion here but one thing I feel strongly about - if you come over from the bird site and post Trump’s tweets or any post without content warning - I will most likely unfollow you (and will certainly not amplify). Please be considerate when posting and sharing that toxic, unhealthy trash. Thank you. #uspolitics #Fediverse #TwitterMigration
@murshedz I just don't what to look at his big dumb face ever again if I can avoid it.
@boojit @murshedz and whenever he's on TV, I immediately mute it.
@murshedz Yes! We had a bad cycle on the bird site of amplifying shitty content, and this is a fresh start and we have a new chance to get it right
@murshedz I started using that site in February, 2008. I’ve been thinking about the first people I followed, and how things were shiny new and fun back then. I’m trying to remember that when I’m integrating into communities here. This is an opportunity for people to cut ties with some of the most angry, miserable aspects of that site.

@murshedz The whole discussion around CWs can't be had genuinely though when those who are choosing the CW hill to die on are describing it as locking their contend in a "lead-lined safe", which it isn't.

You're not going to be able to talk to them about CW if that view persists. Or as the admin of a journalist server said in an interview: "My first response, which I think is most journalists’ first response, was, “Who are these precious snowflakes?”"

@murshedz ditto. I'm here so I don't have to see his, or Melon Husk's stupid faces again.
@murshedz Yes, thank you for saying this. I hope the message gets across.

@murshedz

Agreed.
We should all be careful NOT to inadvertently promote Trump by repeating/reposting his lies. Repeating lies, even to debunk them, can lead others to believe the lies.

Repetition cannot create TRUTH,
but repetition can create BELIEF.

That's why Trump & GOP keep repeating known lies.

Repeat something often enough, & even people who *know* better will start to doubt reality & believe the lies.

DO NOT REPEAT/RETWEET LIES!

“To refute lies: Always LEAD WITH THE TRUTH, not the lies. DO **NOT** put the lies FIRST in your tweets, headlines, and/or articles. Giving lies primacy, gives them validity. Give truth primacy, not lies. #LeadWithTheTruth #LedeWithTheTruth (<for the journalists)”

@murshedz really? can you not just unfollow content you don’t like? in no way a trump supporter, but in almost any context this seems like a far fetched demand to make when you have an inbuilt tool to manage this yourself.
