@evacide not popular as in people on twitter are upset about it?
Honestly I thought whoever was left over there wouldn’t even notice
Yeah, metoo. More thsn one friend, those who actually know better, say, "oh they know everything about me anyway" as the current excuse. A hipster version of "I've got nothing to hide". WTF
@tomjennings @scott @evacide Oh yeah, I hear that one a lot these days. Obviously it wasn't ok for the platforms to gather that info without permission, but somehow their minds skip over that.
Though in this case the issue is less whatever info the platform is gathering about them (Meta is *MUCH* scarier!) and more the fact that as long as people keep making excuses not to leave, they're *helping* the nazi platform. It should already be dead...
The same platform that ultimately will hurt them.
@nazokiyoubinbou
It baffles me being part of a project community for over a decade, which is dedicated to decentralisation, privacy, security, FOSS and democratisation and yet they're all...
- still on Twitter
- many accept or like Musk (eg bec rockets)
- the project and they are all in on LLMs, barely any dissenters (eg bec the founder is a "genius")
The dissonance is deafening. Why? IDK but it's deeply concerning. Most tolerate my dissent because I did so much for years.
I don't like this step too. Twitter is much more important than Bluesky.
But no one similar article about Bluesky, right? What does that mean?
@izby I havent searched for any articles about Bluesky regarding that question, therefore I dont know.
But from your comment I assume that you basically mean:
Twitter isnt worth being on, but neither is Bluesky. And Bluesky is even less worth being on than Twitter.
Did I get that right?
@evacide It's good that you left that cesspool. I'm a little surprised it took so long.
Musk's Twitter stands against everything the EFF is fighting for, platform neutrality most of all. They abuse the so-called "Community Notes" to push far right propaganda. They give a blue check to every trollbot. Their algorithm sorts comments to put the worst of them first.
At least, so it was when I left. I never actually looked back, but I doubt things are any better now.
Can't say it's "popular" with me either, because it's 2026 and I stopped caring about folks "discovering" now it might be a good idea to leave.
hard to promote freedom in a place that actively hates freedom
@evacide being upset is a 'them' problem, not a 'me' problem.
Sad, the things people cling to.
If they are standing in a puddle, they should not be upset about wet feet.
