Alternatives to X

OK, so you’ve read my plea to leave X , and you’re thinking… ok, they have a point, but…

How do we start?

First of all, I have to acknowledge that this isn’t a simple as just deleting your account. Many organisations have had a presence on X (fka Twitter) for a long time and have built up a substantial audience. I’m not suggesting you throw that away, yet.

Why are you still on X?

Now that Elon Musk has made his allegiances and motivations pretty clear, I have to ask a question. Why are you still on X?

I get it. You’re a big organisation and in some ways, in spite of that size, you’re vulnerable if you lose your audience. But, I have to ask again. Why are you still on X?

Big Tech And Our Future

This is scary. Even asking questions may bring down, as yet unknowable, consequences. You may well want to give up and live in a shack in the middle of nowhere. This is fine, and good luck, but it’s not where I am.

Mostly for my own benefit, I need to pose some questions and answer them as rationally as I can. I need, in my own small way, to be pragmatic about the actions I can take, and my expectations of the actions of others.
