😢 “We know it’s bad, but we’ve got a huge audience there.”
But, if that’s true, what does that say about your audience? An audience that comprises of supporters of fascism; creators of inappropriate, offensive, and illegal content; and politically weaponised bots? Is this the audience you want to cultivate?
🥵 “We want to counter misinformation about our organisation. “
Can you only do this by maintaining a presence on this site? Okay. So why not all the other places that the misinformation happens?
😵💫 “We want to affect change from within”
Except of course you don’t work there. You are not on the inside at X. Your followers are not on the inside at X.
There’s only one way that you can control what Elon’s machine does with your content. Which advertisers can be shown next to your post. Whether or not he continues to make money from outrage.
- Stop posting
- Delete your account
- Encourage others to do the same
Ultimately, if you don’t stop, then you’re part of the problem.
Wait, you're still on X?
Are you the bad guy?
