Why? Are you incapable of making your own decisions? It’s generally pretty damn wrong.

Sounds like it’s been calling out low-credibility garbage and somebody doesn’t like that. Why? Got some sort of stake in misinformation?

Because the richest guy on the planet bought one of the most popular social networks, now runs it as a massive right-wing propaganda machine, and ignoring it isn’t going to make it go away or stop mattering.

so why is ‘white dude for harris’ not on mastodon, instagram, bluesky or whatever the alternative is instead?

twitter, as you say yourself is not a useable source of information or platform for people not on the nazi part of the political spectrum.

its not like a public space we can take over. musk has all the control over who even gets seen.

Because it’s an election and X has hundreds of millions of monthly active users. It would be irresponsible not to campaign where there are people.

Again, ignoring the existence of X won’t make X go away or stop mattering.

Yeah, and when he uses that power to manipulate the gigantic captive audience he bought, we should call him out on it.

Because those are unfortunately fringe tech, with Fringe user numbers (relatively speaking)

Likely because those are vastly under populated compared to Xitter. When running promo, you have to go where the people are sadly. It’s harder to make people come to you.

I thought it was founded on Mastodon. At least that’s where I heard about it, 5 days or so before the fundraising call on Monday.

Ignoring hyper-spoiled man-children and their fancy toys is EXACTLY how you deal with those types…

Also, by ignoring it you cut out any ad revenue you would otherwise be generating for them.

So from the outside, this is looking like an increasingly difficult situation for anyone left of trump still on twitter … whatever you like about the platform … it seems you’re actively supporting and endorsing some pretty sketchy behaviour.

It isn’t, “facts” or “reality” have never really bothered those people before.

He’s referring to Twitter users in general. There are people who I genuinely think care about facts and reality still left on Twitter.

I finally deactivated my account after I heard they were turning on Grok by default.

But, I hadn’t tweeted (switched to Mastodon) since Elmu mass-banned journalists for retweeting public information (jet location when near an airport).

I know some non-fascists are still getting good use out of it, but I can’t participate anymore. I keep hearing that Mastodon is letting too much abuse through to marginalized people – even more than Twitter – though. So, I don’t know what to recommend for microblogging.

Yea it’s a bit tough ATM. Straddling between masto and BlueSky might make sense (many are doing it it seems).

Are we saying that weird Elon doesn’t actually support these things?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
