This same tragic story has been repeated in so many fields of human knowledge & endeavor: women raise the alarm about the dangers to society or specific marginalized groups, and suffer the grim personal & professional costs of speaking out, while men focus solely on their professional growth, don't rock the boat even if they do have any doubts, and only express them once their position is unassailable, but the harms are baked in & it's too late to close the barn doors.

p.s. Twitter forces all links to go through its own t.co link shortener. Most people probably don't realise this, because the t.co links just look like normal links.

You can see this on Firefox on a computer. Hovering the mouse over a link shows its true URL in the bottom left corner.

On Twitter, all links are actually t.co addresses, so Twitter will be able to track people clicking on them.

On Mastodon, links are exactly what they appear to be.

See the screenshots for a comparison.

Elon Musk is actively dismantling the experience that brought people to Twitter in the first place. They’re not going to pay for a declining platform.

When Twitter dies, it needs to take Musk and the genius myth he built around himself with it. We shouldn’t let him try to shape our future anymore.
