Regarding Twitter's permaban of Wired reporter Dell Cameron, I must reiterate what I have been saying for a while:
If you're a reporter, or academic, or merchant, or anyone else who's depended on Twitter for some measure of their work, you need to leave before the choice is made for you. There is no degree to which you can keep your head down *and* do your job *and* be allowed to remain on the platform, unhindered.
The best time to leave was yesterday; the second best time is now.
"If you're a reporter, or academic, or merchant, or anyone else who's depended on Twitter for some measure of their work."
Lets hope thatr fedi can be a real replacement twitter as far as commerce is concerned but we get the right balance as I do appreciate people don't want to be bombarded with advertisements, we need to ensure communication is two way, post info on my latest product, and interact with responses to that.
@zleap @Quinnae_Moon Without attribution for traffic generated, there’s no way to justify time spent on fedi
Yeah, so we need a way to have refer links but perhaps in a limited capacity, not sure.
I am confident that things are moving in the right direction. We should just be very mindful of what happens when big tech companies start to notice this sort of thing, they try and embrace, extend, extinguish.
@zleap @Quinnae_Moon Until then - or until media orgs fund their own instances - they’re locked inside a Nazi bar with no key.
