The stuff going on, on the other app is dictator 101.

1. Start a coup, win it.

2. Convince people it’s about freedom.

3. Criticism leads to harsher restrictions of said freedoms.

4. Labels any critic an enemy.

5. Rewards loyalists with status (gold vs blue checks).

6. Triggers exodus of the outspoken and successful under prior regime.

The arguments for remaining on twitter to “fight” remind me of the gambling adage that the house always wins. “Fighting” there is like gambling and thinking you’ll eventually beat the house. But even if you win $10,000 at the slot machine it’s because it’s in the casino’s bigger interests to give you $10,000.

@pburke46 @DNH Agreed! A healthy debate is one thing, when I can feel a debate affecting me physically, that’s no longer an option I choose. #MentalHealthMatters #BlockABitch
@DNH seeing the same thing. Just sitting here thinking that if you're going to bring that here - then just stay there. Please don't fowl my Mastodon.
