One of my oldest friends, and someone I trust greatly, told me straight up today I ought to be back on Twitter for my effort to get selected for the EP list for the GrĂ¼ne

In terms of audience reach he is right

But in terms of ethics he is not - I want nothing to do with the Musk-run place

It is *our responsibility* to make alternatives work, and to line up our ethics with our actions. So this campaign will not be tweeted, and I will make the very best of Mastodon (and Peertube, Bluesky) I can

@jon I'm also a member of the green party and active on the local level.

For me I have decides, like you, that I don't want to contribute my Time to Musks and Zuckerbers company value. Even if politically it might be more promising to howl with the wolves.

I want to contribute to a free community like Mastodon.
