No but apparently you don’t think that it is that big of a deal?

Engywuck@lemm.ee 1 month agoBullshit. I have an account on X since it was Twitter. No post, no followed people, no follower. I don’t use my timeline. I just use it because many dealers use it as a channel to communicate with customers through DM. I’m a a fascist?

Not really

That’s something I hate in place like these, lately: you’re either a good boy if you do what I think it’s right or you’re an evil fascist if you dare not to follow “the right path”. People seem to forget that there are a lot of shades of grey between black and white.

It’s actual fascism.
Not the modern made up diatribe about fascism.
The fasces is a bundle with an axe - anyone outside the bundle gets chopped. That’s actual fascism. It’s what both the far left and far right proscribe and (correctly) accuse the other of doing.
Forget sides, forget the bundle. Just be a good person and keep your own ethical code.

Thank you. You seem to understand what I mean.

You really should encourage your contacts to use more secure channels than Twitter dms, especially for illicit behavior.

Stats don’t care if you are or aren’t, you are +1 to the equity that Twitter uses to get money through advertisers, which gets funnelled to Elon and his interests, and now Trump. This leads to reducing your overall opportunities through fascism that contribute to you finding comfort in what your dealer is supplying you. Quit hitting yourself.

Hope every single people on this thread quit using Amazon/Youtube and anything Meta for vey similar reasons. I’m waiting.

I actually agree with you on the Amazon/Youtube/Meta thing and I’m trying my hardest to stop using all those companies, but I think another point here is that Twitter is much more directly connected to fascism, given that it’s owned by the guy who just spent a week crashing the post-election party at Mar-A-Lago.
