Get ready for the propaganda initiative in which Mastodon will be labeled a site for “groomers” and “pedophiles.” It’s the least creative messaging imaginable, but you know it’s only a matter of time before we hear it coming from Elon, Fox, Daily Wire, etc. FWIW, Human Events is a right wing rag with roots that stretch back to the Goldwater conservatism of the early 1960s. It was Reagan’s favorite source of information.
The former Infowars guy behind Macron Leaks and Pizzagate is now on the case. Given his ties with Bannon and Elon’s habit of interacting on friendly terms with him, I’d guess it’s only a matter of time before this becomes “the well known truth” in certain segments of Twitter land. And of course, real journalists will now be forced to discuss this.
@sethcotlar I don’t see how anyone could even study this. It’s not a platform. It’s open source software. If I say that 12% of Mastodon use is for explosive knitwear, who could prove me right or wrong?
@sethcotlar @Julie
I am definitely here on #Mastodon for the explosive knitwear and conspiratorial cat content and I was wondering when someone was going to expose that 🤣

@RuthZ The conspiratorial cat is out of the explosive knitting bag!
