Encouraging people to use X drives money into the hands of fascists.

Cross posting content isn't really encouraging people to use it.

If they want to make some principled stand against toxic social media, then have at it. This is pure pandering to a very specific group.

Twitter, before Elon, was the company that literally banned your account for sharing the hunter Biden laptop story. That story was purported to be a "conspiracy theory" but was actually true. And people were locked out of their account for sharing it. That is true fascism.

  • True fascism: your twitter account getting locked

    Not true fascism: when the government murders people in the streets of Minneapolis

    Got it, thanks. Really lays bare your priorities.

    • "murdered": someone interfering with law enforcement and driving a 4000 lb SUV a toward law enforcement officer is met with lethal force

      Not murdered: literally everyone else in the entire state

      My priorities are many, one of which is free speech. Another of which is law enforcement and equality under the rule of law.

      What are your priorities?
