"By banning some of us, Musk is sending a message to everyone else: Comply with the dictator or lose access. Twitter has become a virtual simulation of authoritarian rule."
"But Musk didn’t build Twitter. We, collectively, turned the bird app into a consequential power. If it remains under the control of a man who sees journalists as enemies, we have a moral responsibility to fly the coop."

@georgelakoff @gilduran I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would still use a platform owned by a Nazi sympathizer. He invited actual Nazis to come back in.
It's not hard to understand. I'll give you a hand:
The service has value to users regardless of who owns it.
Some of us are able to separate ideas like knowing when a service improves our lives vs caring about the feelings of someone involved in providing the service.
Some of us are able to avoid such obsession with guilt by association.
