@TheDailyEdge What a horrid human being. #elmo #Dirtybird

@drewharwell When are all of you legit journalists going to leave the #Dirtybird for good. If you ALL left, so would most of the legit advertisers. If you ALL left and came exclusively to #mastodon you’d have the freedom of the #fediverse without algorithms, political pressure, and a fascist owner. Geez. What’s it gonna take?

@taylorlorenz
It's ironic that anybody wd be offended by the sort of hard-hitting questioning we might expect from a journalist. Here's what I wonder.

Shouldn't we separate the now from long-term needs?

1) I know enough to never want to return the #DirtyBird site. Central control of global messaging is the immediate threat; #DingDong made his intent clear.

2) the #Fediverse presents an opportunity to decentralize messaging; I'm willing to sacrifice QT in the short-term for the greater good.

@jeffjarvis

The article doesn't highlight any concerted effort to silence Twitteratis who oppose rising authoritarianism, only bots. On the other hand, notice how nobody is complaining about bots now that right wing extremists have been replatformed?

I wonder, what confidential info did the $250 + million club get access to, given the potential for targeting by authoritarian regimes? Did this cabal get their true ROI, despite a sacrifice of cash flow from the #DirtyBird site.

@VickyNguyenTV Welcome Vicki! So glad to see you #journalists moving from the #Dirtybird You will love it here!
