The fundamental difference is here you can actually block people who are rude/abusive, detach quote posts etc. There are some trolls and worse, but they can be quickly weeded out. Not moving here (or anywhere else - no reason it has to be here) indicates that you think X is an acceptable platform.
I think there is a strong moral case to make that government and official media etc accounts should quit X. I’m just not sure there’s a good case to make for them moving here, tbh.
The practical case then gets complicated: if the government/ governing party couldn’t move social media discourse largely off X by leaving (and at this stage I don’t think it could), does quitting the field do more damage than staying? I lean no, but I wish they were thinking in those terms at least
It's such a cesspit now I don't think it's even close - maybe at one point there was something to 'stay and fight', but that has long since passed.
I agree tbh - leaving X is really the most important thing. The reach via here is very limited (tbh, X doesn't have the reach of FB or Insta - all the more reason staying there is just wrong).
Possibly. But it would be relatively costless to at least cross post here, and see if this place is kept small by the ongoing content provision on the platform that resembles its function most closely.
