Re staying on X/Twitter to fight the ā€œgoodā€ fight. Musk owns the site. He posts constantly. He micromanages the algorithm. If you think your tweets are so powerful they can beat the guy who spent $44bn to buy it & promote far right propagandaā€¦ eh, good luck, chuck, but you sound a bit delulu

As long as a large swathe of the news and information sphere outside of Western Europe and the US operates on Twitter and Meta sites, anyone doing research on those areas will need to interact with them

Indeed. The quality of the tweet is irrelevant if the algorithm decides to limit its reach! It will sit there in the database, all alone in its incredibly persuasive glory, never seen by anyone!

You get the added bonus of feeding his AI, and generating advertising revenue for a Nazi.

At this point I'll settle for people who go there still keeping it to themselves.

Lotta post-hoc justification from people who like the size of their Xitter accounts and donā€™t want to start fresh somewhere elseā€¦

Did the Association of German National Jews surrender an important chance to get their message out by refusing to attend NSDAP rallies? History will never know.

Truth, and every other right wing twitter replacement fail because thereā€™s no foil to be found. Without a leftist to argue with, those sites just become groyper echo chambers which eat themselves out of boredom. Staying on x harms any leftist cause.

Zastanawiam się czasem nad tą walką, ale chyba masz rację.
