You can find me in the Fediverse at https://t.co/wtI6hInOC7. I hate seeing Twitter ruined by a sociopath, but I won't assist him by contributing my work.dangillmor.com California, Nara, Arizona etc.Joined May 2007
I keep this account to stop sleazeballs from getting my account username. Meanwhile, I'm gradually unfollowing others. No offense intended, just one more way of not encouraging anyone to be there. (My offer stands to help journalists migrate smoothly away from this rancid place.)
Dear journalists: By being active participants in this site, you are supporting a sociopath who hates journalism, boosts extremists who hate democracy, and is in contempt of speech he doesn't like.

For your own sake, leave.
I've offered to help journalists move to platforms that are decentralized and run by (more) honorable people than the sociopath who rules here.
No one has taken me up on that offer.
The offer stands, but I have to face reality: Journalists have capitulated to the sociopath.
Journalists: I have half the followers on Mastodon that I have here, but 10 times the genuine engagement over there.
Offer: I'll help you get set up on Mastodon and will help you bring your Twitter audience along. Stop supporting a sociopath here. Boost yourselves there.

Disappointing that journalists continue to directly support the virulently anti-journalism owner of this site, who gleefully amplifies right-wing extremism and loathing of democracy.
Not just wrong ethically, but also strategically counterproductive.
Standing offer for journalists: I'll help you get set up on Mastodon and will help you bring your Twitter audience along (and find new followers and rich engagement there). All I ask is that you migrate -- over time, not instantly -- your social media activity there.
Musk's latest boosting of completely vile people is the latest reminder that there may be NOTHING he can do that will prompt journalists to stop supporting his business.
Begging you, journos, please take your conversations and followers elsewhere. Do the right thing.
Dear journalists: Some of you are now complaining loudly about Musk's, this this site's, escalating promotion of extremism.
Yet most of you are still here and posting as usual -- literally supporting this vile business.
Why can't you do the honorable thing? I don't get it.
Our movement was born online. It grew thanks to the reach that Twitter afforded us.
But the Twitter we knew is largely gone. This dangerous cesspool of hate and disinformation is bad for progressive organizing.
So we've decided to step back from "X." ✌️ indivisibleteam.medium.com/were-stepping-…
Dear journalists: By remaining here you are actively supporting a someone who despises journalism and amplifies right-wing extremists who want to end our democracy.
Please move to a place where you control your own work, and your future.

Dear journalists: As this shows, you are gaining very little, if anything, by remaining here. niemanreports.org/articles/npr-t…
But you are definitely supporting an enemy of democracy (and journalism) by sticking around.
(Click the image to see what this refers to; Musk removes links.)
Dear journalists: By remaining here you are actively supporting a business whose owner in in league with people who want to end our democracy. Now he's unilaterally removing your headlines -- the latest in a series of insults to journalism.
Get off your knees and move.
Dear journalists: By remaining here you are actively supporting a business whose owner in in league with people who want to end our democracy. His latest: firing people trying to keep election information honest.
