Wow those people get banned then unbanned and they go right back like it’s still a place worth investing their work.

@nancybaym Rather than a statistic? I am still quite surprised at all those users who haven’t closed their accounts and departed the bird site. Every time he bans journos, then lets them back, they’ll conform to his rules more obediently. He’s ( and I hate to use this hackneyed phrase) grooming them.

@nancybaym social networks are useless without content. They exist SOLELY to serve the content of their users. They profit off everyone's collective work and use of the platform.
The sooner people realize how much power they have on the internet (especially over social networks), the better.

@nancybaym Yea, it's kind of sad but the sunk cost fallacy hits them hard, - "how can I walk away from all I built up." It's a logical / emotional error. All the built up is actually owned by twitter.

@nancybaym given how much publishers and journalists depend on Twitter to drive traffic, newsrooms simply don’t know how to respond. For example “Privately on Friday, the (NYTimes) leadership asked staff not to fight with Musk on Twitter” … https://www.semafor.com/article/12/16/2022/newsrooms-are-scrambling-to-counter-elon-musks-bans

News organizations are considering the alternatives to the industry's Twitter addiction.
