Musk systematically punishes reporters on Twitter for coverage he doesn’t like. For this reason alone, no journalist should be on Twitter. https://journa.host/@w7voa/110228528322091511

"WIRED learned Wednesday afternoon that senior reporter Dell Cameron's Twitter account was permanently suspended after he reported on Matt Walsh's Twitter account being hacked. Neither Dell's story nor his Twitter feed contained hacked materials. We do not believe his account violated Twitter's policy....our attempts to reach Twitter's press office were met with the customary poop emoji. ..." - WIRED Managing Editor, Hemal Jhaveri

Mastodon

Look, I get it.

Nobody likes to be told that they’re helping the bad guys. Especially when they’ve spent their entire lives self-identifying as liberals or progressives.

You’re on the side of human rights, not the Nazis, right?

Well, this is where actions speak louder than words.

It’s time to stop with the hot takes and dunks.

It’s time to log out of Twitter and never come back.

I also understand—and empathize—that people often have no choice and must use Twitter.

If the choice is between making rent and eviction, I get it.

But that’s not everyone. If you’re privileged enough to leave Twitter, it’s your duty to log off forever.

That’s how you can thwart the spread of Fascism.

At a certain point, there should be a social cost to continuing to use Twitter.

Sooner or later, Twitter should be considered no better than Gab, Truth Social, and 4chan.

We need to start referring to Twitter as “the world’s largest Fascist propaganda farm”.

What are you doing participating on the world’s largest Fascist propaganda farm?

The anti-trans pogrom isn't going to look like concentration camps, at least not at first, because there just aren't a lot of us. It's going to be a rise in teen and adult suicides. It's going to be evictions. It's going to be police attacks on homeless camps. Because we'll be drummed out of schools and employment and public life and healthcare and have nowhere to go.

Bloomberg headline on my phone alert:

"Tesla CEO Elon #Musk has become the only person in history to erase $200 billion from their net worth."

I really hope Elon Musk does something stupid tomorrow just so Mastodon can hit 9 million users on New Year's Eve.
