Beautiful #winter scene near Kuhmo, #Finland

The forests in this region are home to wolves and bears as well as rarely seen Finnish forest reindeer.

@georgelakoff @protecttruth Right now dozens of reporters are still banned from Twitter. They are examples of what happens to you when you refuse to toe the line. Musk is using the threat of the ban hammer to extort censorship. This is the authoritarian playbook. Those who stay on Twitter, just happy they are not targets, tempering their commentary so as to conform and stay safe, are not brave. They are simply hanging their brethren out to dry and empowering the despot.

I just hope that people learn one thing from the Twitter debacle (especially those who consider themselves dependent on it): allowing yourself to become dependent on a tool that is centralised, corporate, for-profit, and proprietary is a perfect way to set yourselves up for a similar fall in future. Look for the same pattern in your other tech dependencies. I suspect most of us will feel some discomfort. That's good. It's also appropriate. That's what leads to positive change.
