So, Elon Musk reinstates Flynn on Twitter on the 2 year Anniversary of Jan 6.

He fires people in Twitter Brazil in charge of moderation, ie keeping an eye on inciting violence, etc.

On the day after Brazil insurrection he reinstates Ali Alexander, yes the "stop the steal" a**hole who is partly responsible for the Jan 6 insurrection.

He's not trying to hide what he's up to.

He's stoking the flames of fascism and violence.

Elon Musk is a terrorist.

It seems to me that if you're not a fascist on twitter you're a chewtoy for the fascists that Elon is recruiting for the site. I'm not sure what they'd be resisting by remaining there despite the fascist owner?

People are so afraid to lose their precious followers and social clout. I had over 40k followers when I left Twitter, and it was the best mental health decision I ever made.

I briefly set up an account a couple of weeks ago just to check in on the zeitgeist of Elonistan, and there were the same tweets from 2 years ago being recycled, only now flavored with a hint of Nazism.

@Photoist @Beth I pop back now and then and found the same, same tweets over and over at the top, not particularly interesting nor controversial...they're just short of new material I guess. Some of my most prolific posters are barely saying anything...

@Photoist This may be true for some types of accounts, but there are networks of activism and community for Disability Twitter and Black Twitter in particular that cannot be rebuilt on Mastodon. The people who depend on those networks aren’t staying on Twitter as an act of resistance necessarily but as an act of survival. Mastodon in general is hostile to the tools those people use to build community, educate, and do mutual aid. And there is no current replacement.

@UndeadRed85 @Beth

Agreed, and excellent point. There is an infrastructure within #Elonistan that currently can not be supplanted by #Mastodon or any other SM. That dependency makes it dangerous because even Gov. entities rely on it for mass communication and are at the whim of its unstable ownership.

Do you think then that it requires more regulation like a utility?

Show threadThe Eva Dead💀Jan 10, 2023
@Photoist I’m not familiar enough with all the implications that come with “social media platform as public utility” to form a cogent analysis, but I can think of how harmful it might be to have a globally used and accessible platform localized by law into one nation, subject to that single nation’s regulatory policies and influence and I don’t know how to get around that. Not saying it hasn’t been thought of, just that I do not know what baggage might come with it.

Why can’t mastodon support these tools to make mastodon better for disability twitter and black twitter communities?
Show threadThe Eva Dead💀Jan 10, 2023
@ringworm It likely *can* but many in the Fediverse do not *want* it to, for various reasons (some seemingly more elitist/ableist/racist than others). And because of how the Fediverse is structured, adoption of those tools seems to be instance-level dependent, making the problem unsolvable for broad adoption unless admins choose to implement all such tools. @Photoist @Beth

@Lady_Star_Gem I don't see any reason he has to even hide it. Look how much he's able to get away with, and how much stuff his cronies have gotten away with. He was a kid that tested the limits, and found that no one will punish him if he is bad. He controls a large social media company, so he controls the conversation. And... people still want to use Twitter, so....
