    1. Hard agree. We used to say to vote with our wallets, but we need to start voting with our attention.

    2. I mean sure but how are smaller journalists not way more reliant on it than her who gets (presumably free) platforming all the time?

    3. I’m a former dem staffer from the senate and I’ll be honest; after musk took over fully, we all had qualms of being on twitter. Esp now, with it being infiltrated with right wing trolls on every topic, it’s gotten so much worse.

      There’s just no alternative when it comes to sharing breaking news, succinctly and effectively. Twitter THRIVES on breaking news. Bluesky can’t cope and neither can Threads (not that zuck is a better alternative). The day dem staffers can leave Twitter, I’m sure everyone will be beyond ecstatic. There just isn’t a comparable medium at this moment.

      I started using Reddit cause I abandoned Twitter when he took over

      I don’t know who this is, but I agree that everyone needs to get off X. Every time you use X, you are giving money to a racist, transphobic, eugenicist, oligarch billionaire (on track to become the world’s first trillionaire very soon). It blows my mind that so many “liberals” and even “leftists” are still on it and defend using it.

      I really thought this was Kate McKinnon doing a sketch for a second there.

    7. Anyone still on Twitter is a cunt-bag. Honestly. Elon Musk is going to be looked at in the future as one of the most vile parasites to come out of the last 100 years and that’s fucking saying a mouthful.

      If you still give that platform *any* of your time, reevaluate your shit.

      yesss! we need more of this and Brands should of been jumping ship as soon as certain salutes were brought into play imo.

      Deleted my account with twitter and Instagram the same day.

      Because I have self respect.

    10. Ugh, she is the worst. She simped for Elon Musk until the tide shifted, then rebranded as truth-teller. She’s in love with celebrity, wealth, and above all, Kara Swisher.

    11. She is such a deluded POS. She was on Twitter until Musk publicly refused her interview requests and she left.

    12. No idea on who this person is, but here in the UK our government is trying to punish twitter for repeatedly breaching our laws and standards, by sharing porn to children and the like.

      However, at the same time, every government branch and politician uses it to put out messages, plenty pay twitter to advertise on their service.

      The hypocrisy surrounding twitter is wild. It’s owned and run by a fascist, why is anyone still using it??

      my twitter name is the same as my blog name. I just never went on after it became so toxic.

      Wasn’t this is the same bozo that was celebrating these tech freaks not too long ago??

    15. I read her book where she spent a significant amount of time dunking on our tech overlords, which was great. But she can’t escape the fact that she spent so much of her career empowering these technofeudalists, building them up, and building up their companies. She helped create the problem by not sounding the alarm bells on how dangerous they were long ago. She was too busy hobnobbing with the rich and powerful and making her own small fortune.

      She literally was PR for all these Silicon Valley goblins and now she’s lecturing people. The point isn’t wrong she’s just the absolute worst person to be making it.

      Right wingers and the media are the only ones who use Twitter. If the media abandoned it the advertisers would jump ship because only nazis, mysoginists and bots would be left

    18. Never heard of this lady but she sounds full of herself. Zuck is hardly better than Musk, he just doesn’t put himself in the public eye as much.

      Im not supporting Twitter but these low level journalists have to work harder than someone who is established.

      Zuckerberg just appears comparably acceptable next to Musk (it’s a really low bar). But make no mistake, they have both kissed the ring.

      Sure leaving Twitter was bittersweet, I’d made connections on there and was even recruited for the best job I ever had through the platform. But no amount of nostalgia could ever justify staying on such a vile platform.

      I’ve been off all Meta-platforms for years now as well. Sure, I’m not always in the loop. But I also found that I don’t really miss it. I enjoy not constantly being connected, dialled in, and available.
