Honestly, leaving Birbsite was superb. My posts nonetheless find yourself over there by way of the Jetpack Feature… however like, I haven’t actually used all of it that a lot as of late.

Frankly, leaving Twitter made me realise how a lot I disliked Twitter.

Tumblr is kinda chill, Mastodon/Fediverse is basically cozy, and albeit, there’s apparently a Hive of types on the rise however I don’t precisely know what to do over there… or quite, I haven’t checked it out but because it’s Mobile-only and I hate that in apps.

Anyway, Twitter… proper… I believed it couldn’t worsen after Trump’s account was reinstated however now, Musk made it doable to unfold misinformation on Covid once more. Wait… why?

So, Birbsite = cute, Hellsite = correct

I don’t get this obsession with “free speech absolutism”. When you unfold faux information and misinformation in addition to conspiracy theories, you simply take away freedom of speech from folks.

You can’t have “free speech absolutism” with out hate speech going rampant, proper? Because Musk defines it as principally the alternative of political correctness and permitting the plenty to say issues once more… but when he doesn’t draw the road someplace, we’ll get covid and holocaust deniers on these social platforms… and if we draw the road there, it’s not likely absolutism, is it?

So, what I’m attempting to get at is that these things about covid-19 misinformation was one more dangerous transfer. I actually hope that none of this strikes over to different platforms however as Bel already talked about, there are various folks transferring to the Fediverse who’re simply continually self-promoting or cross-posting in the identical method that Twitter did it.

And even I’ve to continually take into consideration what I submit and whether or not I ought to submit it. I hyperlink extra essential posts onto my Mastodon web page however I don’t essentially do it for every part.

This submit was first printed on Indiecator by Dan Indiecator aka MagiWasTaken. If you want what you see right here and wish to see extra, you possibly can verify me out on Twitch and YouTube as properly.
