I’ve had a lot of people ask me recently why not stay on Twitter and fight.
The reason is because Musk controls the algorithm. He could ban you tomorrow, and he could also just deprioritize every one of your tweets so no one sees them.
You can’t fight and win when the opponent has complete control over the field of conflict.

@protecttruth Fighting for Twitter is a fight for what, exactly?
Engaging authoritarians and extremists on Twitter amplifies them. Walking amongst them without engaging normalizes them.
If you want to save Twitter, you can't. But you *can* save people -- by leaving Twitter.
The best thing now is for Twitter to become like Gab or 8chan. The kooks already have places to talk to themselves -- let Twitter become another one. Any other path strengthens their nonsense and exhausts everyone else.
