      I think a lot of artists are still holding on to their following there, bluesky has a lot of the same features (more actually because it allows you to change settings to hide NSFW images), but it’s hard to migrate a following to a new site.

        Its actually easy.

        First, post on the alternative site.

        Then mirror the post on xitter after 24 hours with an added “Btw, follow me on Bluesky/Mastodon to be the first to see my posts”

        Bonus points if you get banned for promoting an alternative platform, that’ll make them seem like their being persecuted and the followers will follow.

        It’s still owned by a nazi and put forwards nazi ideas. Staying on this platform just mean you accept to be a nazi-enabler because you think it provides you a personal benefit. AFAIC, people on X are selfish and spineless, fuck every single one of them.

            This is absolutely 100% the exact kind of perspective bubble I am warning us all about.

            And I’m warning all of us about the exact kind of perspective you have : convenience and indifference.

            That’s exactly what brought us to the point we are, were an un-elected billionaire can do a nazi salute at the potus inauguration without facing any consequence.

                Lol, what does that even mean?

                I am coherent with my beliefs, I don’t support businesses owned by and promoting nazi ideology.

                You are coherent with you belief “that blablablaba insert pedantic rhetoric gonna stay on X”.

      Well several police department use it ro send our amber alerts. Dear God that’s a terrible idea but it true. Months ago there was a twitter outage that stop any emergency alert from going out.

        Amber Alerts have their own system that has nothing to do with Twitter. A lot of people disable it but it rings on your phone the way an emergency alert does and it’s local to your area. I’m sure they also send alerts through twitter, bluesky, and fascist-book just to cover bases but the main system is not dependent on a social media platform. That would be stupid.
