That if these people really cared about social justice, they would have put their money where their mouths were and left long ago, instead of constantly making excuses and justifying their continued presence there.

I don’t care how they spin it, their activity on x undermines the marginalized people they claim to support. By continuing to post updates and posts there, and nowhere else, they keep their userbase on the site, which contributes to site traffic, which contributes to ad revenue, which contributes to Musk financially, which contributes to politicians, organizations, and causes that wish to peel back rights to workers, racial minorities, women, and queer people.

These are some of the same people that argued continuing to consume Harry Potter, or shopping at Hobby Lobby and Chic-Fil-A were harmful acts. As a queer person, I often agree with their messages, but I am getting so. fucking. tired of the hypocrisy in some of these people. And twitter/X has been the biggest integrity check for me.

And no, they can’t use the system argument that explains why they participate in capitalism despite being anti-capitalists. We all need to interact with capitalism in one way or another to survive. Most people don’t need fucking twitter. Especially when there are so many alternate platforms, and I’m not even talking about just microblogs either.

Fuck they don’t even throw a line to some of the smaller platforms. If they did that at least, people who don’t feel safe using the site, or don’t want to support Musk financially, wouldn’t have to view their content from halfway broken nitter. But nope, no account on any mastodon server, no attempt to establish themselves on bluesky, or hell any regular updates on the threads account they made but never use.

And many of us queer users, these stripping away of protections and features hurt us the most. Many left cause they didn’t feel safe anymore, and that is part of the reason many of us are on fediverse. We see better than anyone who these influencers and content creators actually care about. None of them followed us here. None of them even throw us a bone. We’re are forced to look through a frosted window, or do without, and at this point, I have found myself doing more of the latter.

Either stick to your fucking principles or admit you have an addiction you can’t easily kick. But please for the love of god stop trying to paint your remaining there as righteous or justified.

He’s getting downvoted because either he is ignorant or projecting about leftists and liberals. Have you seen Lemmy? There’s a ton of actual socialists and communists here but he’s saying they’d find Lemmy too complicated. Just straight up cognitive dissonance.

Does that last friend not understand that just because you don’t post personal info doesn’t mean it can’t be easily found by crazy people? Like it’s pretty easy to find peoples info even when they use fake names nowadays

I know a couple of people who still insist on staying there. “It’s where I get the news and the fun memes and shit talk”. I presented a mastodon instance focused on brazilian portuguese, but they just “meh” at it.

It’s pronounced Shitter

Musk is walking proof some people SHOULD be canceled!

I wonder how much “EARN MONEY FREE” spam it’d take for them to realize blocking is a very desirable and needed feature for such a big platform.

Because helping others out from under the influence of things that are making them stupid is good for the world in general.

As a Twitter user only there to participate in NAFO - I advise anyone else to leave the platform for Mastodon or literally any alternative. For you specifically, there’s an entire community on Pixelfed specifically for art posts. Stop giving space Karen engagement numbers.

Is that where you from an X with your arms, bringing them down as you thrust your crotch and saying “suck it?”
