Interesting how Jack Dorsey calls the people who did not want to use Twitter under Musk and who were looking for alternatives like Bluesky or Mastodon “common” …. What a dickhead. These tech lord billionaires are fascist through and through…Amazing that having a moral compass and values that don’t align with bitcoin shilling tech bros is “common”
