Dear journalists:

By remaining on Elon Musk's platform you are -- knowingly or not -- directly supporting your enemy. He is systematically turning his platform into a showcase for people and entities that see democracy as an impediment to achieving what can accurately be understood as fascist goals.

Wrecking democracy means destroying freedom of expression -- the basis of what you do.

For your own sake, and for your honor, please leave.

Twitter becomes X

RIP Twitter (2007-2023)

@dangillmor I am not a journalist, but for now I am keeping my Twitteraccount for the sole purpose that I want to know and investigate what is happening outside my own bubble. Being there makes me anxious and sad, but I think it is crucial to be there to be able to understand the madness we currently see and experience all around us irl.

I agree. Apart from Twitter there is no other site in the Western world to get as much news and information in virtually real time.
It sickens me to see how Twitter has been trashed 🗑 but it's been a foreseeable decline.
Where else do we go?.
