The problem with this kind of talk is that it refuses to acknowledge how much of X’s traffic - all the social media traffic - comes from outside the US now, from non-English speaking countries who don’t care about your bullshit, so long as the platform keeps working for them. Americans are having a very hard time with that.

So you shake your finger at the people whose language you speak, but it doesn’t matter if all of them decide you’re right and drop the platform. There will still be millions of users. Your shaming act is not appropriate.

Even ignoring that, a lot of these people have no business model without X, specifically. I’ve heard tons of them moan about not finding another platform like it. You need both reach and the ability to post furry wolf cock drawings without consequence. These parasites would all have to drop their bullshit and go get punchclock jobs if they didn’t have X, they would have to give up their parasocial position over others without it, which means no amount of your liberal white woman shaming is ever going to be enough.

The really ugly truth is that all the normal-ass people who don’t make their money online have abandoned X already, all that’s left is this huge army of grifters and whoever is still there for the porn. It makes me mad, because I deliberately left the site before Elon even breathed a word about buying it, but it follows you everywhere like a disease wanting a host.

All these pricks went to Mastodon and brought their Twitter shit with them. They even bullied somebody into giving them an algorithmic feed. Now Mastodon is shit, too, and this woman is part of the problem. Shut up. Stop farming attention and leave an inch of space for the people who don’t want to be part of your personal business model. Fuck you, as well, lady. Fuck all you parasocials.
