Well there's your problem. You're still using the fascist platform.
Any active user who "pushes back" in an attempt to "fix" the fascist platform is either delusional or being disingenuous. There's no fixing it, guys. Just walk away.
Imo the best pushback is to leave and make twitter irrelevant
Boycotts can work. Leave, and let people know why you're leaving. (The second part is important!)
You say that, yet every asshole and their mom kept going “hur dur this isn’t an airport” during the Reddit API protests when a lot of us mods announced our resignations and left. If they don’t like what you’re doing, it’s virtue signaling. If you don’t say anything, then your ineffective. Literally nothing is acceptable if people don’t like the message you are trying to get across. It also doesn’t help that the Internet mostly rewards cynicism/tearing other people down and yucking other people’s yums.
Yep. I could see people sticking around if there were not viable alternatives. And while those alternatives have indeed been around for a good while, they are very available now. There’s really no excuse now.
Now, while I do think Mastodon is the better platform, I’m curious to see how BlueSky affects Twitter’s user base once it comes out of its “beta”. For all of its faults, it does have the smallest learning curve - if really any at all - when comparing it to Twitter.
