We need to start being harsher to people who choose to stay on that site and even pay to use it. Stop giving it legitimacy, the algorithm is entirely rigged against you, there is no 'winning'.

This really shouldn't need to be said, but you aren't getting under Elon Musk's skin by paying to use his website and posting criticism of him.

By doing so you give the impression that 'both sides' have a voice on the platform. Just stop.

Appreciate the sentiment, but the only action I will support in terms of activity on that platform is deactivation. He can slag off Musk all he likes, but at the end of the day, he’s funding him by using the platform. Everyone needs to get off of it.

Can we stop going on Elon Musk's website, paying for a blue check and then saying how much we hate him please?

This isn't rebellious or 'trolling', it's just driving engagement on his site and giving people a reason to stay.

It doesn't matter, he's still driving engagement on the platform and giving people a reason to stay on there.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Congratulations! You are now the average Democratic pundit!

You have increased the userbase and engagement of the site owned and controlled by Elon, while helping fund it.

Keep up the good fight and maybe consider getting premium+ so you can get that extra bit of reach!

How to beat Elon Musk

Step 1: Go to X dot Com
Step 2: Create an account
Step 3: Pay for a subscription to increase your reach
Step 4: Make it premium (you need grok for help)
Step 5: Make a post mocking Elon
Step 6: Link it to your friends/audience
Step 7: Brag about how mad this will make him

Yes. This happens over and over and then everyone pretends it didn't

How Democratic influencers (and politicians) look when they complain about Elon's influence but simply have no choice but to continue posting on Twitter.

It's kinda sad to see. People are patting themselves on the back for posting Elon criticism on the site he owns, often even paying him for the services.

Just saw someone saying “please share so I can have more followers so I can finally stop posting on Twitter where I have a lot of followers”

May I suggest two simple steps to achieve this,

1. Stop posting there and delete your account there

2. Post here

If you're a democrat that has a Tweet on there recently with thousands of retweets, regardless of the topic, you have achieved nothing but driving engagement to a site where those are free to be manipulated by the owner's algorithm for his own end.

If you still post on Twitter you are complicit in lining Elon Musk's pockets and enabling what he's doing.

This is genuinely an important article. The two main lessons from Hungary appear to be:

DO NOT WAIT

DO NOT UNDERREACT

Authoritarians like Orban and Trump rely on opposition being unwilling to believe that what is happening is actually happening. That’s their window.

I think the Dem base’s anger at elected Dems for their bizarre, paralyzed accommodationism is building much faster than anyone realizes. Pressure rising, explosion may be imminent

Trump has signed an executive order declassifying files regarding JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr.

Weird how he didn't include Epstein in that list.

How to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads In the wake of Meta’s decision to remove its third-party fact-checking system and loosen content moderation policies, Google searches on how to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads have been on the rise. People who are angry with the decision accuse…

How to delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads

I still believe the "anti-imperialist" tankie crowd (including Jill Stein) won't say a word to condemn this.

The undertones of "I tried my best" are dumb. The fight isn't over at all. Learn from the mistakes of letting Trump get away with everything to actually oppose what he does in the future.

They can play victim, act persecuted, threaten you with repercussions, but you can just say no.

I really don't like the tone of this post.

America isn't a dictatorship YET, stop treating it like one and pre-emptively conceding power. There are plenty of avenues for people to take to stop overreach, it's not a foregone conclusion.

Trump/Musk want to disenfranchise you, don't let them.

10 corporations that kept their promises after January 6, 2021 After a violent mob stormed the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, hundreds of corporations took action to communicate to the public that democracy itself was more important than maximizing their po...

1. Hundreds of companies who pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 4 years

But we've identified 10 promise keepers:

Farmers
Airbnb
Expedia
Nike
Clorox
General Mills
Holland & Hart
Qurate
Whirlpool
Lyft

This is bigger than it being a hostile environment, or losing the block function, or even having extremists on the platform.

This is someone, who is part of a wider group of people who ideologically want to dismantle democracy using their owned platform to puppeteer people into letting them do it.

America is in the midst of a fascistic takeover by a group of billionaires, and yet people still use one of the social media sites that they own.

Sorry, but people need to have more personal responsibility and stop using that site.

To be clear, I don't put people who are indifferent about the event in that bucket, just those who see it as a genuine form of justice.
