Vichy Twitter is a Nazi propaganda machine. You are not immune to propaganda and even if you are, your posts and presence there are the fuel that the machine needs for power
Exactly! Propaganda works and that's why authoritarians use it; Putin, 34-felon, Fox news, the Twit.... Education is the only way to recognize/avoid being conned. If emotions (fear, anger, etc) are involved, back up and think!
So something I’m curious about: Several states have passed laws that require various verifications before being able to look at porn.

But I have to stay on the Nazi Machine because there's not enough sports on here.
But I have to stay on the Nazi Machine because I built a huge following there.
But I have to stay on the Nazi Machine because we can't let the Nazis win.
But I have to stay on the Nazi Machine because . . .
The most common complaint I hear from people who are still over there is “I don’t get the same kind of -engagement-“ on Bluesky”

I do better over here than I ever did over there
I think a lot of them just don’t want to have to rebuild a following elsewhere
The year-over-year fall in user activity and traffic should really be driving people to other platforms anyway. Twitter’s a cesspool, every day it becomes less usable, the infrastructure holding it up is rotting, and it’s losing its owners money. Get off the Nazi machine.
It's hilarious that UPS requires you to have an account here, Instagram, Facebook, etc to contact them. It's one way to maximize profits on personal data sales.
Social media functions like an organism. If we starved it, it would die. It's happened many times before, and it's not as if the whole thing over there isn't a house of cards already.
