I couldn't agree more.
But I'm disappointed that Jay, a friend, still supports Elon Musk's business by remaining an active participant on the deadbird platform, which actively promotes people who want to end our democracy.

@dangillmor well it makes sense considering the platform also actively promotes journalistic content, bringing it to a significant audience.
Which is a pretty important thing to countering people who want to end our democracy.

That's a good argument for pumping rigorous journalism into their firehose, with minimum effort, and links to ways of finding the same material outside the DataFarm. It's not a good argument for actively engaging there, or promoting your presence there outside of it.
