I’m watching the Macklemore thing and the cynic in me feels like it’s all virtue signaling and for show. I guess I have near zero confidence in the rich.
Part of my belief is all of the rage porn goes on twitter/meta and funds the billionaires which just furthers the cycle.
Do you think writing to some of these artists and asking then to leave Meta/Twitter for Mastodon would work? Could a difference actually be made?
We could end these platforms tomorrow with a little solidarity. I’m still shocked that so many are still there.
Quite a few high profile people left Twitter after the Musk takeover, so it does happen.
I don’t doubt Macklemore’s sincerity on Palestine - not that I have special insight of any kind on the man. Hind’s Hall was written so sensitively (both the lyrics and the samples used). He seems like a genuine case.
