There's presumably engagement on those two.

It's better to have a smaller core of highly engaged people than a mass of disengaged eyeballs glazing over.

Retreating into smaller and smaller echo chambers where they get their way?

  • They're also still posting on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube (in addition to BlueSky and Mastodon). It's silly to suggest that anything outside of X is an echo chamber, or that one must communicate on a platform dominated by white supremacists to expose your ideas to a diverse audience.

Does it have to be either/or?

  • Volunteer your time to do a dual strategy with content that fits both. Comms takes time, the EFF is adapting its comm strategy.

    • Pushing messages out to multiple platforms is a solved problem. Parent said

      which to me, it's better to spew a message out into the ether with the chance that someone might happen upon it rather than close things off entirely.
