Not a surprise. Still stunning. All of society is enabling this bullshit by not aggressively building out the fediverse as a public utility for social networking.

Shame on you for not quitting twitter.

@kevinrns Shaming me won't be easy on this. But for the record, I have mostly left Twitter. Most of what I post there is my #FediverseNotes, trying to break the spell and make people comfortable with at least creating accounts and learning more about the Fediverse without pressure or shame. If no one did that, how would they know?

I am terrible at this, it was a general remonstrance for the far too many who should know better. _My_ twitter account is also still not shuttered, though I dont tweet, and just have a "get off twitter" message there.

I am grateful for your report about the subversive propagandist, sorry my agreement with your point sounded so confusing.

@kevinrns No harm done. I wish more were having this discussion. We ALL have a vested in interest in whether decentralized (or at least decorporatized) social media thrives. That's more important to me than whether Twitter dies a timely death, or that many remain there if it doesn't. I am more focused on what we WANT more than what we don't want.
