Anyone staying on Twitter as an act of resistance is delusional. If you’re participating there at all, you’re helping the fascists and wasting your time.

With Trump returing to Musk's Twitter, it's time to get strategic

Whether you exit the bird app, or stay and resist, things are about to worsen

When the nazis take over your town, you run or you die. This is hard-won epigenetic knowledge. Listen or don’t but I will not be discussing it. This is something I know in my bones. Twitter is far past saving.

You have to understand that Twitter only functions by having people to attack. You sticking around there to "fight the good fight" is GIVING THEM EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. They WANT YOU THERE, FIGHTING. You're not changing a damn thing. You're playing a roll they want you to play for their amusement.

DON'T DO THAT.

@fraying Although I know it's pure irony: tooting about the birdsite also helps it. You may rather want to focus your energy on other (productive) things.

@yargo no.

And don’t do that.

@fraying I certainly won't, as I haven't been on the birdsite except for a test years ago. 🙂 By the way, the "you" was not adressing you specifically, but people in general -- not sure whether that came through correctly... 🫤 (non-native English speaker here)
