The fact that not a single Jewish org, or progressive org, nor the Democratic Party has even attempted organizing a collective boycott is extremely disappointing.

Grok hasn't said anything about a ceasefire or free palestine, so they could not care less.

Tesla Takedowns have been successful, so a mass "X-it" could have legs. One tactic would be to keep doing Tesla Takedowns but add signs encouraging people to make their X-it from the platform.

I understand most people don’t want to leave X because that’s where most other people still are. That just means that it’s a collective action problem; it can be overcome with organizing that brings people together towards non-cooperation. If we can’t even get off X, how can we stop fascism?

I'm not as worried about the world not caring that Grok is spewing BS on Twitter as the silence on the genocide in Gaza, the concentration camp in Florida and SCOTUS openly promoting Fascism. It's starting to feel like acceptance w/ everything that is wrong w/ the world is setting in. 😱🤬😩

They don’t wanna leave because it incorporates more genres and interests. For example, anything sports related on here sucks, art, movie, etc, same. So they cherry pick their politics on this platform, and then they go to that platform for sports, entertainment, and breaking news.

Americans know how to complain but not act. The boycott needed to happen long ago, but big accounts see the tiny like/follower counts here & go back to where they can feel good & popular. They complain about the fascists but go right back to support him w/some lame excuse. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

In my opinion, the real problem is that no one has even really tried to organize a boycott of X. Certainly, no organizations, coalitions, or national leaders have attempted to lead a boycott. From where I sit, it feels like a failure of the progressive movement across the board.

There might be another light here. There are estimates that 64% of users on X are bots. This would put X at closer to 47 million live users. Bluesky says it’s around 30 mil last I saw. I’m hoping this pushes Germany to ban it totally. I don’t think that has happened yet.

I don’t trust that these numbers aren’t manipulated by the platforms and/or dominated by bot accounts. But also, both sites are much more globally popular than Bluesky.

The main problem with calling to boycott X is that people have spent almost a decade building their accounts on that platform, which is a means of getting revenue or tied directly into livelihood. Simply walking away from that might be impossible for some for many reasons, Ppl/livelihood/network/etc

The accounts are like a digital home. To simply leave the country and re-establish somewhere else, some can afford it, but some wont have the means. I came from Facebook- While my business isnt linked, I kept the account because the majority of people arent on BSky & I need some way to access them.

If X were simply a store, boycotting would be doable, but it isn't and therein lies the problem. It's like a country where people live/work and have their engagement turned into money for the country. :/ To be clear, I never used X, but I know of the struggle. The other thing... if you leave such

a group without opposition, the platform could become an echo-chamber that emboldens. It gives the illusion that everyone agrees & that they're a majority. That could also be dangerous. I am sorry I don't have any answers for how to fight, but ... maybe some answers on why good ppl haven't left X.
