Courtney Heard đ¨đŚJust a reminder: I donât want cross posts from Twitter in my feed, and I feel like if youâre still active on Twitter, youâre not really my people anyway, so if Iâve unfollowed you, thatâs why. #birdsite
Jon R@godlessmom Curate your feed however you want to, but âIf youâre still active on Twitter youâre not my peopleâ is REALLY judgy and siloed. Take a deep breath and enjoy some common humanity with folks who donât agree with you down to every calculation of the pros and cons of using one app vs another!
Sue W@jonricha @godlessmom Agreed . People are free to choose to be on both sites. Bit fed up of people being so judgmental. Came to Mastodon to get away from that, but lo and behold đ
@SueW251161 @jonricha my parents were radicalized by misinformation. I donât want to support a platform that is actively welcoming back the sources of misinformation that took my parents from me. Iâm very happy for you that you donât have this issue but I canât, in good conscience, see posts from that platform from people I choose to follow and not feel like Iâm supporting it in some way. Ergo, I will not follow people who cross post from there. Thx
@godlessmom @SueW251161 Absolutely, not questioning who you follow or your reasons. But many of the people still posting on that app have the same moral vision as you do for how they want their country and their world to be, they just do the math differently about the value of continuing to post there. You can think theyâre doing the math wrong without concluding that theyâre ânot your peopleâ. Donât make enemies out of people who arenât!
@jonricha @SueW251161 we are all fully aware that for-profit social media apps trade in engagement. Providing engagement on such an app is giving it value. If youâre actively giving value to a platform that is welcoming nazis & bad actors who took my parents from me, then Iâm sorry, youâre not my people.
The people I choose to surround myself with would not willingly remain at a party where nazis have been invited. This is not âjudgmentâ this is basic morality.

@godlessmom @SueW251161 I agree with you about not giving value to Musk; thatâs why Iâm leaving Twitter. And also, Twitter has 400 million users, about 10 times the population of Canada, which BTW also allows Nazis to reside there. People have developed all kinds of sub communities and support systems on Twitter. And, some now see it as a place to fight Nazis. Can you really not imagine any reason other than immorality why anyone might have stayed so far?

Sit down, Jon. She has been clear about what makes her uncomfortable. Her feelings are valid. It's not our place to tell her she's wrong.

@xmacdonald @godlessmom @SueW251161 Certainly not my place to tell her sheâs wrong about her feelings. But to tell her that she might reconsider her actions In how sheâs publicly labeling people, I feel OK about. She herself doesnât seem shy about telling people when she doesnât agree with what theyâre doing!
That said, I will sit down anytime she asks me to. Itâs her thread.
