  that have no contact with politics

  Ergo they are not against fascism.
  You just helped prove the point.

    I understand you are hurt and angry.

    But you have to understand there are people out there from all around the world, that have no desire to observe the grotesque circus of american politics. You are in your own bubble of people that think the world has ended, but most people in the world have different worries and concerns.

      Most people have the concern that the Trump concept is being copied to their country’s politics now.

        No. Not at all. Most people don’t think about it. They go about their business and think about their job, their kids,spouses, friends, cars, … They think about their local politics, not in relation to American. Than if they do think about american politics, they say to themselves: what a bunch of clowns, then they think of something else.

      That doesn’t change anything, whatever country you are from, using Xitter means you are using and thereby supporting a fascist platform.

      You are in your own bubble

      OK, and which bubble is that?
      Seems to me that you are talking about things you don’t know shit about.

        I see that the emotional level is too great for any discussion. Good luck to you, I hope you get a moment for yourself and have a nice rest of the day.

        Good bye.

        I don’t have any skin in this game but just want to point out that “I understand you are hurt and angry” is an attempt to empathize with you, and not an ad hominem fallacy.

  …but there are no such communities there

  “Be the change you want to see in the world.” ;-)

    Yes, that’s why I wrote that I’m here. But it’s not happening. Maybe something will change in the future, but at this moment there is nothing anyone can to do, to move these communities.

  If you are a major contributor in a niche community, you can publicize your move with info of how to keep following you and syndicate links to your content on your desired platform for a set time then leave. On your desired platform let followers from Xitter know how to follow you (email, rss, bridgy, etc) if they don’t want to join your desired platform.

  If you are mostly a content consumer or have FOMO, use a bridge not an account. DM all the friends you want to keep of where to find you then leave. Bird.makeup is a great Xitter bridge for the fedi.

  In either case, there isn’t a reason to keep am account there.

  Except everything is related to politics. The price of the bread is politics. The roads made, politics too. Having to pay the doctor or not, politics.

  Politics is not “what the politicians do”. It’s “affairs of the cities”, from Ancient Greek πολιτικά (politiká). And everything that affects more than one person is an “affair of the cities”.
