@augieray I get that people have built communities on Twitter but why keep your community on a platform that can be pulled out from under you at any moment based on the whims of some narcissistic billionaire?

@andricheli @augieray if someone can't move on from platform they built on, it was never "their community" to begin with.

@peteriskrisjanis @andricheli @augieray I think that’s a fairly simplistic and frankly privileged attitude. For all its flaws (and there are SO MANY), Twitter enabled the location by members of marginalized communities of each other, and a platform that made the rapid exchange of information and community networking/mobilization possible in a way that no other platform ever had. They are understandably loathe to lose that agent of empowerment.

@cautionwip @peteriskrisjanis @andricheli @augieray Mastodon algo can do it, on reality any other platform can do it (Tik tok (unless you live in US, because the moderation and algorithm is runned by another business not bytedancer), Telegram, Mastodon. But twitter addicted users refuse to leave twitter and use another platform and still fighting like Children

@Williamfonseca @peteriskrisjanis @andricheli @augieray I’m not saying that’s not the reality in some cases, but I also think there are a fair number of people with reasonable factors keeping them there. Also, there is no Masto algorithm. It’s entirely self-curated and any virality is organically generated.

@cautionwip @peteriskrisjanis @andricheli @augieray Example: I live in Brazil, and here twitter never was a very influential plataform, the most used app here nowdays are Facebook 💀, Tik Tok, Kwai, Halo, Instagram and Telegram, twitter was most used for consume erotic content, gossip and defamation (because the other platforms have more harder moderation against it now), and we never needed the twitter have our voices hear, the LGBTQ community achieve their goals using most Tik Tok and instagram
