Admins said it was promoting hate against a vulnerable minority. I don’t care about the account, but that part made me furious. Why kowtow to russia?
I had previous temp bans for saying things like what should happen to nazis (they called it promoting violence 🙄) and other times calling out russian trolls.
That site has really gone to shit since their acquisition. They let trolls run free, and ban people for calling them out.
You’re right, and I could have ignored it, but that just allows the problem to fester and russia is pouring a lot of money into their hybrid war against the west. This is how disinformation and psyops spreads, and the west is so far failing to impose adequate safeguards.
In this case, “doing your part” is probably accelerating the downfall of platforms you disapprove of by not participating in them. They have influence because of their critical mass, so leaving hurts them. They just don’t care or notice until they no longer have critical mass. No social media has ever regained it once lost.
