But then how would I know where to get more regular updates as somebody following them there? It used to be a bannable offense to even link to your presence on a competing side; not sure if it still is.
I think this is better than having an account with the last post being from 2019, with no explanation, looking dead, and still being able to receive messages from users.
You have to be performative about this. It’s like holding a sign while protesting, that’s the whole point.
Ah yes, classic advice. Remain neutral while the vile humans do not. You must be one of them.
well put. if their mission is to help protect vulnerable communities, and the effort to post on X is near zero ( it can be automated or take just a moment manually), they are betraying their mission to help protect as many vulnerable communities as possible.
Performative expression is critical. You need to actually do the thing you believe and if it is of political significance say it and do it visibly. Otherwise there is no impact.
