Elon Musk just banned the culture jamming anarchist publication CrimethInc. from Twitter after a request from Andy Ngo, the fascist activist who's beloved by multiple mass shooters.

CrimethInc. has had a Twitter account since 2008, has never violated Twitter policies, and has never been suspended until now.

@VelvetAlex @micahflee Not really, Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, is a good example.

@matsh @micahflee That doesn't disprove that the majority of them aren't good people. Look at Nazi Germany.

@VelvetAlex @micahflee You just wrote that billionaires ALWAYS sides with fascism. I gave a good example of how that is not correct. 🤷

@matsh @micahflee How much of hill billions has he given away? Also, wouldn't you be more comfortable on 4Chan or Reddit. You don't seem like Mastodon type.

@VelvetAlex @micahflee Not siding with fascism isn't the same as giving away billions, right?

But I am curious about your claim that I would probably fit better at 4chan. Could you elaborate? I don't understand! 🤷

@VelvetAlex @micahflee Is it something in my profile text that better fits at 4chan? I have this exact text on both Mastodon and Twitter:

"Dad. Ex programmer. Feminist. Left liberal. Bike in mountains as often as I can. Dream of Pamir, Tibesti, Caucasus, Andes..."

@VelvetAlex @micahflee Mastodon types don't correct people in a friendly way?

@VelvetAlex @micahflee According to Wikipedia, his wealth is around 3 billion, of which he seems to have set aside about 1 billion to charity. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Dorsey

@matsh @micahflee Let me amend my initial statement to "many" billionaires align with fascism in the end. To protect their wealth. And please kindly leave me alone.
