“Stay and fight” is so ludicrous. Fight for what? Fight with what? Users have no leverage against Musk. None. It’s just more insipid rationalization by people who just can’t bear to think about having to lose any part of their follower counts. It’s actually a chance to expand them and make them more meaningful.

@shoq In a way, leaving Twitter and embracing alternatives like Mastodon is a much more effective way to "fight." Elon is trying to interrupt the discourse between liberals and non-conservatives. By leaving and bringing that discourse elsewhere, we are making it impossible for him to stop it. And Mastodon gives way more control over curating your feed.

@shoq I always ask those ‘stay and fight’ people to tell me exactly what winning the fight would look like. Under precisely what conditions will you find this fight won? I’ve yet to hear any sort of answer.

@skotchygut @shoq it's so dumb and the "Mastodon's so complicated" shit annoys me to no end. Every new platform is complicated in the beginning, do these people remember how complicated Facebook used to be when they first started letting everyone join. People are just lazy and seem to always choose what's easy over what's right.

@Zammer @skotchygut @shoq Just today someone said they found Mastodon too "user-unfriendly" to join. WTH? If choosing an instance is that challenging maybe they shouldn't be on social media?
