    There are plenty of mainstream platforms to reach such people on that aren’t owned by (openly) Nazi billionaires.

      Hence why this article is about them leaving the openly Nazi billionaire’s platform while remaining on other platforms that are mainstream and still provide a lot of reach :)

          As they should.

          A non-profit that fights daily for our electronic freedoms can leave X whenever they damn well please. They decided today was that day and I am perfectly fine with that.

          EFF is one of the orgs I often donate to.

        Exactly, and these platforms are only mainstream now, many of them had much smaller userbases before the X takeover of Twitter.

      Name one single mainstream (i.e. >10 million users) platform that isn’t owned by a nazi pedophile billionaire.

        X is owned by a wannabe pedophile from what the Epstein files showed, so maybe X is the only one?

          Zuckerberg and Gates own the only other mainstream social media sites. While the fediverse is neat, the entirety of all federated services, including the pretty failed launch of bluesky, is less than the userbase of just facebook, in just the Philippines.

          And both of them are pedophiles, and while I don’t know if Gates is a nazi, Zuckerberg absolutely is.

          Also reddit, I guess, u/spez is a nazi, and reddit had the longest running clearweb jailbait site in world history so…

                Eh he is a big failure, and failed up his whole life just like DJT. They managed to fail at being human beings with empathy, but musk is so awkward he failed to get an invite to the oedo parties.

      There’s nothing wrong with preaching to Nazis. Sure, most aren’t likely to really listen, but they are the people who need to hear this most.

      You don’t write people off because they’re wrong, you correct them.

        Correcting? They can’t be saved when social networks amplify and surround them.

        Unless you mean “Correcting”

          None of them can be saved? That seems statistically unlikely.

          But back up a bit, that comment I made is a general truth, it doesn’t just apply to this situation. When someone is wrong, you correct them, that’s generally just the right course of action.
