In case you still don't believe that #Twitter is now full MAGA, it just blocked promotion of a Democratic candidate's ad because it mentions #AbortionRights

@BruceMirken HuffPost did MAGA a favor by referring to them as "anti-choice Republicans" instead of "pro-forced birth Republicans."

@BruceMirken

It is a moral, ethical, social failure to be on twitter, it is a camouflaged Truth Social Filth Machine. Hidden by idiots left on it.

Its time to name and shame organizations and people still posting on Musk's Howitzer of Propaganda.

@BruceMirken So yeah, this money thing, that government is not allowed to touch, that controls right wing radio, Fox News, FB, Twitter…. How’s that going to work out for democracy?

@BruceMirken I really have to question why people are still supporting musk & his obviously compromised platform. I left last November & have no regrets about doing so. #twitter #politics

@progressiveseeker @BruceMirken and I’m sad/mad that people I respect and admire are still there.

@LexiGirl @BruceMirken Agreed. I've lost a certain amount of respect for those who have chosen to remain. Just like I would never be a part of Truth Social b/c of what it represents I think that Twitter can now be classified in that same group & those resisters that have chosen to stay are not going to change the minds of the hardcore radical right or the brainless leader melon husk thru their tweets.

@BruceMirken What kills me is how so many non-MAGA types are so afraid of losing their followers that they still actively participate in Twitter, and nowhere else.

If Musk bought their favorite newspaper or magazine and turned it into a platform for MAGA and conspiracy theorist harassment, they would cancel their subscriptions w/o hesitation.

@CarlG314 @BruceMirken But they've lost them already.

Neonazis at Twitter HQ are controlling their timelines and the timelines of their followers.

@yacc143 @CarlG314 Too many people are putting their heads in the sand, looking just at follower counts. I have way fewer followers here than I did on #Twitter, but at least 3x the engagement.
Show threadCarlGJun 20, 2023

@BruceMirken @yacc143 And yet I see other people with hundreds or even thousands of followers make a decent post, with no meaningful engagement at all (something I too am guilty of when I'm busy).

So I can see how the Twitter may be appealing, even if it means holding your nose while participating over there. And risking MAGA types threatening your home.

I was never an active Twitter participant, but still lurk there to catch up on legal news from a few of my favorite posters who are not on Maso.

@CarlG314 @yacc143 I haven't closed my account there and take a peek occasionally, for much the same reasons. But I've stopped tweeting. I may keep an eye on Twitter for a while, but not gonna make content for Nazis.
