To all those who scold me for staying on Twitter in the belief that I thus contribute value to Musk by contributing content: I say that misses -- as Musk misses -- the reak value of Twitter. It's not content; that's the world seen through mass media's glasses. The value resides instead in relationships. I don't want to cut off those relationships for I wish to entice some to move here.
Maybe, just maybe, I'll outlive Musk's cash and the Twitter that is left can be federated, too.
@jeffjarvis or you can encourage the people who's relationship you value to move to a different space :)
@TNLNYC That is precisely what I am doing, Tristan. It's why I am still there: to do that. And I wrote this, plus I"m holding a class on the 5th to help people move. https://medium.com/whither-news/on-joining-mastodon-d539eed5e41a
