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 Looking at this thread: RIP your inbox :/
Mastodon would benefit from being able to un-tag yourself from an argument but I’m not sure how that would be implemented.
Anyway I totally get what you’re saying.
@Haste So I guess your client doesn't offer you "Mute Conversation" in the options for a toot?
I ise @Tusky on mobile and it liiks like that on my device:
It does not (I’m using the stock iOS app though).
Which is weird because I feel like I have definitely done this before, that first time a post left my orbit and the reply guys descended upon it to feast.
Maybe I just turned off notifications for Mastodon entirely? 🤷♀️
