@macroliter It is, because Twitter's global audience is big enough that it's able to reach almost every country and be USEFUL in MANY ways to people without easy access to vital information.

Which is why #EvilRich scumbags like Musk are buying up such platforms to destroy or twist them to their own ends.

Alternatives like Mastodon are great, but are siloed, which cuts down on their instanews usefulness.

@alexandrad1 it's shocking, but as I've said for years, the #EvilRich don't operate on the same level of reality as the 99%:

"In less than a month, Musk has bulldozed more than a decade’s worth of efforts to establish moderation systems—however imperfect—that serve to both block damaging speech and boost healthy discourse on the platform. He has put on an absolute master class in mismanagement, and tweeted through it all the while."

Yet, I still hope for sanity.

"Caring about others is difficult, so some of the #EvilRich think you should embrace the opposite mindset."

Anyone care to guess where THAT road quickly leads? 🤨

#fascism #authoritarianism #populism #anarchy

Embrace #PeopleNotProfit, folks. It makes for a far #BetterFuture.💚

Please note: #billionaries don't want #freespeech, folks.🤨

They want a pliant public providing low-cost labour to fund the wants of the #EvilRich. We're seeing that live with #ElonMusk's #TwitterFail, as he's showing us who he REALLY is: an ego-driven opportunist, not a genius.

@waitbutwhy@twitter.com It is shocking how many journalists viscously attack free speech, but somehow think they’re the good guys!

Indeed.

The #TwitterTakeover by @elonmusk@twitter.com is the perfect example of how the #EvilRich run the world via #capitalism: there's few checks on their excesses, and they care little about solving the #ClimateCrisis.

We need #PeopleNotProfit as the #1 priority for #SystemChange, ASAP. https://t.co/tYuLLJCUZn
