Föderation EN Fr 09.08.2024 07:57:31 #TheGuardian editor seems to think staying on a #facist run platform is ok & doesn't acknowledge the #Fediverse in their opinion piece about whether #Labour should leave #Twitter / X They conclude: "The uncomfortable reality is that no other platform offers quite the same immediate access to influential figures or acts like a breaking news network in the same way. " There is no justification for staying on Twitter, it only supports the fascists. |
Föderation EN Fr 09.08.2024 08:16:32 @StingrayBadger If the fascists let you stay on their platform speaking against the fascists, that’s the best place you could possibly be. It’s getting a toe into an echo chamber. |
Föderation EN Fr 09.08.2024 09:08:06 @volkris in theory. In the real world, people can mobilise to overcome fascism. In a world where the algorithms are shaped by the fascists the inverse of this picture is all too easy https://mastodon.world/@KarenawokeKaren/112922817179458542 |

Föderation EN Fr 09.08.2024 11:23:54 Indeed. Perhaps they'll need to change, or end up without respect or influence. I certainly have major problems with #WesStreeting being in charge of health with his overt transphobia. |
Föderation EN Fr 09.08.2024 11:12:39 @StingrayBadger Yes, people are only staying on X to stay relevant. Without the numbers, they are zero, zip, zilch, nada personality for real. |
Föderation EN Fr 09.08.2024 11:20:11 Absolutely, and welcome to the #MastodonCommunity As you're getting settled in, could I recommend @FediTips who have lots of really useful tips about using the fediverse |
