By unbanning Trump (amongst many others) Elon Musk is purposefully making Twitter (and by extension the world) an unsafe place for marginalized people all over the world.We should not simply flee from Twitter, but actively work together to break its power.Consider your stay on Mastodon a political statement, because that's what it really is. And consider not just focussing on your own comfort, away from the ruckus of hateful tweeters, but also contributing on building a lasting infrastructure were all people can be safe. And you don't need to be technical to do that. Promote using the Fediverse as a political and philosophical necessity.It should be clear to you by now that media (be it social or otherwise) in corporate hands can never be truly safe. Maybe safe enough for you, but not safe for everyone.We need decentralized, community owned, non-profit media, with a likewise technical infrastructure.For safety.For equality.For democracy.For freedom.For our future.#birdsite #ElonMusk #meta #Politics #democracy #Fediverse #FascismPS: Boost for visibility. A like doesn't do much here.

@determinerik believe it or not, listening to trump being a brash shithead does not harm "marginalized" people and this notion is incredibly ignorant and borderline malicious as many people will believe this is true and become weaker by requiring other people think for them.

So, while you're hereAlt-txt your images, to keep Mastodon accessible.If you just joined, and are on a big server, consider moving to a small instance. The power of the Fediverse is decentralization. Big servers are vulnerable, harder to moderate and therefore less safe.Send some money to your local server to keep things afloat.Punch a nazi if you get the chance.

@determinerik have faith in humanity and things get better. treating everyone you meet as some hyper vulnerable victim only makes things worse, it alienates you from strong people and isolates you into a small echo chamber of online violent psychos. try to keep an open mind when dealing with how to mitigate extremism, you'll be surprised how many people dislike it when you stop having panic attacks about internet posts.
