        Yeah. I’m not famous at all, but I could imagine it would be troublesome trying to migrate a popular account with thousands of followers to another service.

        Even if you were successful, you’d probably only retain a quarter of your followers because most people can’t be ballsed to dl/sign up for another app.

        Half your followers on Twitter are probably bots or inactive anyhow, so take that as you will.

      I’m not on twitter and never was, but I’m not silly enough to think billionaires don’t shape my world in a million fucking ways with their unilateral decisions. Elon here has a HUGE one recently in deciding to disable starlink during a Ukraine offensive.

      Trying to assist his rich buddies with fucking with the union is a lower tier crime but still its fuckery that affects a lot of people.

      Then we’ve got other rich asshats selling state secrets for money.

      Billionaires are a liability and everyone needs to realize it.

        The “I don’t use Twitter so that’s a you problem” is a thought terminating cliche.
