I am actively unfollowing big Twitter accounts who demand that we "stay and fight!"
It's pathetic.
@sock Stay and fight a malevolent billionaire who does just what the fuck he wants?
I choose my battles.
That isn't one of them.
@sock "Stay and keep me monetised",is what they actually mean.
@sock
As the great Ian Anderson once said,
"Once I used to join in
Every boy and girl was my friend.
Now there's revolution
But they don't know what they're fighting."
Did you see England win their soccer match today?
@sock People are seriously doing that?! I wasn’t surprised when all the people huffed and puffed and said they would delete Twitter if Elon bought it, and then just kept tweeting when did. But people saying that users should “stay and fight” is kind of bananas.
@TheRuralProgressive Oh yes. Some of them even started trashing this place in an effort to stop their followers from joining.
Absolutely pathetic.
@sock it’s hearing things like that which make my Twitter withdrawal fade away really quickly. Even as curated as I made Twitter over the years the vibes just felt more and more off and dogmatic, even among people I thought were like minded. I hope people like that over stay their welcome so that their hubris destroys their so called influence (yeah that’s a bit bitter sounding but also some egos just need a serious deflating)
"I have lost hundreds of followers but I am not going to let evil dissuade me from doing what's right!"
Translation: "Please keep liking me! I need you to keep liking me!"
