I really try to hang out in more nuanced modes of rhetoric but: Don’t amplify psychological terrorism by repeating it in social media posts condemning it. Stop.

When you do this, no matter your intent, you are helping the worst people by repeatedly exposing the intended targets to the terrorizing messages.

Yes, hate campaigns need to be discussed. Not by amplifying the messages themselves across networks rich in their targets.

Terrified people getting constantly re-terrified can’t think clearly. We all need to be thinking as clearly as we can. This was true in 2016 and during the early-pandemic info vacuum and it’s true now.

Hi! Twitter refugee here- any recommendation on building a good feed for legitimate real time news reporting?

@stoicbeast @kissane Start with hashtags like #news. Look for accounts on press.coop. And somewhere around here is a @FediTips pointer to lists of news sources on Mastodon.
