Most businesses and institutions still use twitter as their primary communication and support channels. My "wokest" friend still uses it every day, while constantly bitching about Elon. Convenience and habit are a hell of a drug...
I walked past an ambulance the other day and noticed that my city's ambulances have the little bird logo along with the local EMS twitter handle (I live somewhere with publicly funded healthcare). I found myself wondering, "are they going to switch their fleet to use the X logo?" It's funny how much we allowed this private company's little bird logo to worm its way into every aspect of our world. People took for granted that it would always exist and always be something people had a positive association with.
"Public Squares" should never be privately owned.
I've heard about this bizarre behavior. I have decided to not cut slack to users.
It is inappropriate to conduct business with bigots and fascists. It is perfectly reasonable for me to label those who use fascist-owned platforms as fascists.
Life is analog, not digital.
And the "owned by a fascist" dial is all the way to 10.
Hey, this is fun!
That much extremest hate will burn you up.
Twitter, Reddit, World of Warcraft, etc., etc.
If people could just put in the minimal amount of effort to affect positive change, the World would be such a different place.
