This is what blows my mind. Everyone keeps complaining about how terrible he is and how terrible twitter has become, but they keep fucking using it. I think if you were just using twitter to reach your audience you wouldn’t care too much what you used. I think these people know they stand to lose money and so they won’t jump ship.
Pussies. This website has effectively drawn a line in the sand and said we are where fascist voices can unite and coordinate. If you remain on twitter even if that’s not your belief you are providing them with legitimacy and enough of a smokescreen to do what they intend to do.
I listened to Rogan and Musk talk briefly because my curiosity got the best of me and you can tell musk has lost it. He’s full Kanye right now. You can kind of tell when someone’s fucked in the head. Their mannerisms and pacing tell the story. He’s totally off it and is going to continue to funnel millions of dollars into the hands of fascist dickheads in one way or other. Today it’s providing them with a platform. Tomorrow it’s funding politicians. He’s just up his own ass enough to do all kinds of fucked up shit because HE thinks it’s ‘what’s best for everyone’.
The world can decide to just dump this shitdick. The sooner the better. Unfortunately a number of people are very keen on keeping things how they are and super pleased to have his stupid ass spewing their talking points.

This is what gets to me too: I notice this pattern a lot with all kinds of products and services. I understand wanting a company to improve a product as a customer but when something gets to this point it’s time to hop off the train and go somewhere else.
It’s astounding to me that people expect the companies of everything they use to have an exact customized version just for them. It’s just never going to happen.
Cory Doctorow put it well, the social media companies make the switching cost high by holding their "friends", connections and follows 'hostage' to them.
It's difficult to convince any individual to jump to the lifeboat unless they know the others with them will.
If you want to reach your audience, you have to be on a platform they use. Despite loss of users, Twitter still has a much larger audience than alternatives. This remains a problem for people seeking alternatives. In my view the best approach is to use both and promote the less popular but better platform on the bad one. But this takes knowledge of what alternatives exist, willingness to learn them, and of course extra time.
