Over on The Bird site, I started getting a bunch of right wing tweets in my feed because I happen to follow journalists who monitor that site. It was like turning on your faucet at watching dirty gray water come out. Blech!
@georgetakei Twitter is just no longer OK. Personally it’s totally unethical to stay. I dont understand why so many want to work so hard to prop up Elon Musk and the business he poisoned. Sometimes moves are necessary fresh changes that are sorely welcome. I’m old enough to have learned that staying in a bad (very bad) relationship is only toxic, self-harming, and not worth 1 iota of the losses it causes because of false loyalties. So glad you’re here!!!!!!
@Mutterbaum
Many people just don't have a choice. If you're an artist and have built up a following over there who happen to pay your rent, stepping over into the unknown and hoping enough of your customers come along before you go broke is a scary prospect. Same for political activists - Iran is just waiting for the protests to become internationally invisible.
@Teskariel Thank you for an other different perspective! I speak for no one but myself. There is no debate here. It is so important collaborative free speech allows room for everyone to have their own opinions and experiences, and not speak over each other or nullify someone else’s when it is different :)
