I get the sense that lots of people on #xitter feel like it was the first real public forum. where you could engage with public officials and journalists and subject matter experts. there was no algo. it was pure and important. they want that but don't trust that anywhere else can provide it. so they stay. not realizing that we are that done even better. or really could be if they all showed up. so I still think we will win cause the demand is there but it's damn frustrating. #SocialWeb
Austerity, Brexit, Covid Lockdown Parties, PPE Scandal, Raw Sewage in UK Waterways & Coastal Areas, Economic Crash, Record Inflation, Record Interest Rates, Cost of Living Crisis, Pensions Decimated, Mortgage Rises, NHS in Crisis, Schools Crumbling, Housing Crisis...
No offence, but 2 years ago this fella (Jeremy Corbyn's ex economic advisor) got laughed off #Xitter when advocating MMT.
It was all great & well explaining this complex economic theory to the average lay-person, but when several preeminent Economists populated the discussion, he ran & hid, & refused to defend his claims.
It's just so basic but someday we won't have websites littered with icons for #Xitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube etc. It will just be a fedi icon next to the email icon. Or at least that's the dream. #SocialWeb
I've been browsing the "For You" algo on #threads to try to find people to ask to turn on #fediverse sharing, and it's a nightmare. I don't know if they are bots or real people, but they post the dumbest shit. I don't follow anyone there so the algo probably has no idea what to give me. Perhaps nicer than #xitter but I'm not going to check.

Jewish students participating in pro-Palestine protests on their campuses would have valuable things to say about the alleged "rising antisemitism" at their schools. But the media is ignoring them.
Every caller who repeats the Manufactured Narrative™️ about protesters' #Antisemitism is reminded that many of them are #Jewish & the #GOP has been normalizing #antisemetic memes on #Xitter for some time
I also 🙏🏼🙏🏼 blessings on #BernieSanders ,who is flexing against this #Genocide on every platform & daring anyone to call him #SelfHating
Whenever I read a news article that includes something like:
"The traffic accident has now been cleared, according to a police department post on X," I think it sounds as ridiculous as ""The traffic accident has now been cleared, according to a police department post on Truth Social."
It's unbelievable to me how these organizations can continue to believe they sound legit on X. If you want me to trust your info, use a real platform, not a Nazi cosplay forum.
There was some hint (or maybe I misinterpreted) of some follow-up for the #EUVoice and #EUVideo pilot.
Nothing concrete mentioned and no further official announcement. Maybe @EDPS could provide more insight if this is indeed the case?
Meanwhile it is HIGHLY ironic that @vonderleyen is a #Xitter mirror operated by Federico Leva in Finland together with numerous other unofficial bridges. Frequently confused with official accounts.
