Why is anyone considering staying on X?

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 53 points 2 days ago (11 children)

Well I mean it's a disease agency. Missinformation on X is bad. Their job however is about getting the word out to people of what to do to avoid diseases. People don't switch networks to follow their favorite health agencies. So... if the job is to warn people about serious shit... it kind of is important to be where the people are currently and try and get the facts heard among the misinformation.

What's the point then when the important information can't be freely read by the population without a xitter account. It made sense when you could read tweets without forced login, but now is useless

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Never said exclusively... a group warning of health risks etc... should be using every avenue they can.
