A reminder to all the hangers on still using the wretched bird site: Twitter was never a public square. It was the private property of a for-profit business that was beholden to no one other than its shareholders. Now it has been taken over by a sociopath. Get over it. Move on!
I wonder if people saying that it's too inconvenient for them to move off of Twitter would have continued to eat at lunch counters in the 1960s that refused service to black people. "Yeah, Woolworth's is reprehensible, but that's where all my friends eat. And besides, they have the best blueberry pie in town."
@dangoodin @SQLAllFather The answer is yes. Yes they would have.
@bflipp @SQLAllFather That makes me very 😞​
@dangoodin @SQLAllFather There’s a lot of people that just aren’t concerned about what Elon’s doing and has done to Twitter as long as it still works for them. I’d say that’s probably the vast majority of Twitter users honestly. If it doesn’t affect them personally on a day to day basis they will not change their habits. When the site becomes unstable or unusable enough for large media orgs and especially sports reporters to leave then we’ll really be in the death spiral but not until then.
@bflipp @dangoodin @SQLAllFather similar sentiment to companies who do little to no security - they won't care until there's some kind of production outage - theeeeeeeen its a big deal. because they are forced to confront the reality
