Zuck was sitting with the rest of the techbro billionaires at the most recent POTUS inauguration.@dec23k @noodlemaz @harri @ikuturso yeah - exactly. I’m not discriminating between depths of fascism

I was involved in the campaign to repeal the 8th amendment for a few years.
When I wasn't collecting petition signatures at stalls or holding up one end of a banner or marching through Dublin or Belfast in the rain, a lot of campaigning was organised and done online, including on Twitter.
(planning was done in-person or on Signal, for opsec).Some throttling of progressive voices was going on before 2022, but it got worse after the divorced dad walked into Twitter HQ with a kitchen sink.

For that and a million other reasons I don't blame you if you want nothing to do with his stuff either.
Latest news was that some former Trump advisor became president of Meta. I still think it is fairly obvious that Elon is much worse though.

Yes, Space Karen is the worst. Always has been, at least as far back as the early days of paypal.I was part of the late-2022 migration to Mastodon, from Twitter. It was an almost-perfect replacement, for me. But of course I was aware that it wasn't as ideal for other people. For a lot of them, bluesky was a better fit. But bluesky started out as a Twitter project (under Jack Dorsey), and it is very very centralised.

@greenpartyni well done, but it should have happened years ago.

I think that the argument could be made that Meta is a lot worse than Musk. Their enthusiastic support for Brexit, the destruction of democracy globally, their strong participation in the success of such a wide range of fascist governments together with their ongoing platforming of environmental denial stands out for me. It's just a bit more subtle than Musk.

@JimmyB @dec23k @harri @noodlemaz I don't see it. Everything except the Brexit thing applies to Musk's X too and I don't even know what you mean by enthusiastic support there.
There's just so much more when it comes to Elon's meddling even just with the UK and while I have no proof I think it's safe to assume some of it is more subtle (putting his thumb on the algorithmic scale at X, working behind the scenes) in his case also.
