Over at Twitter, Musk is deleting the "Block" option except for DMs. Given the increasing numbers of extremists there, this is guaranteed to piss off all kinds of people who routinely get trolled. Based on experience and observation, journalists are among them.

When will journalists realize they should leave that vile platform, and bring their followers to better places like this one?

Maybe now?

@dangillmor @GottaLaff Frankly, I’m not sure that this is a better platform. I’m not sure there is a better platform. So far, two instance admins in my career field and circle have been griefed out of the servers they started by people who were incensed that they had talked to friends they had at social media companies.

It's not a better platform. It's just another platform.

Everyone who cries they're not getting their way at Twitter/X/whatever is just bringing their same bullplop here.

At this point all platforms are pretty much the same.
