Journalists who would never, ever consider working for Fox "News" continue to give their work -- free -- to Twitter.

They surely know that they're supporting a business controlled -- and manipulated in ugly ways -- by someone at least as malign as Rupert Murdoch. They're giving aid and comfort to someone who hates journalism and amplifies anti-democracy memes.

They could, instead, use the fediverse and control their own destinies.

How can they be helped to grasp this?

@dangillmor I really don't like the reality of it, but even when you explicitly lay out the dangers of it, and that they're more or less conspirators for continuing to use it, the gravitas of it all seems to fall on deaf ears.

You can only keep advocating it and hope someone realizes it enough to stop.
