There is no benefit to anyone on the left being on twitter.

Nina Turner tweeted "Insulin should be free." some libertarians responded "Nina should pick cotton for free."

Did this obvious racism hurt them? No, they now have more followers than ever. Being over there is just being bait for these extremists to build their network.

Grotesque racist images of Nina, rather than being demoted by the algorithm are being *promoted* since the people posting them paid for blue checks.

Leave.

@futurebird my friend is part if a group that gets targeted on titter but wont leave, I think it is because of the art scene?

@gavinisdie

tumblr has a better "art scene"

IDK.

I think the people who have stay don't realize just how much worse it's gotten over the past year.

@futurebird @gavinisdie it still feels a lot better than what i see on fedi

but i guess i'm way more motivated to look and follow on tumblr because

(a) when other people boost something because i boosted it, i get positive reinforcing feedback too
(b) i seem to be in this particular fandom, or slice of a fandom, that appears to be met on fedi with a deliberate, universal polite forgetting that i ever posted about the thing
(c) queues and the ability to find and appreciate posts from years ago

@futurebird @gavinisdie oops, misunderstood the context and thought we were comparing tumblr and fedi not tumblr and twitter

yeah i dunno twitter only seems superior inasmuch as there are more artists on it and you can post nsfw
