    There are plenty of mainstream platforms to reach such people on that aren’t owned by (openly) Nazi billionaires.

      Hence why this article is about them leaving the openly Nazi billionaire’s platform while remaining on other platforms that are mainstream and still provide a lot of reach :)

          As they should.

          A non-profit that fights daily for our electronic freedoms can leave X whenever they damn well please. They decided today was that day and I am perfectly fine with that.

          EFF is one of the orgs I often donate to.

        Exactly, and these platforms are only mainstream now, many of them had much smaller userbases before the X takeover of Twitter.

      There’s nothing wrong with preaching to Nazis. Sure, most aren’t likely to really listen, but they are the people who need to hear this most.

      You don’t write people off because they’re wrong, you correct them.

        Correcting? They can’t be saved when social networks amplify and surround them.

        Unless you mean “Correcting”

          None of them can be saved? That seems statistically unlikely.

          But back up a bit, that comment I made is a general truth, it doesn’t just apply to this situation. When someone is wrong, you correct them, that’s generally just the right course of action.
