History and Class Consciousness, by the Hungarian communist philosopher, Georg Lukács, was published in 1923. The book drew a hostile reaction from the ideologists of the 1920s Comintern. That it did is ironic, given today Lukács is blamed by the Far Right for originating ‘cultural Marxism’, ‘critical race theory’ and other alleged wokenesses...but I am unaware of any conspiracy theorist who appears to have understood a word of it. #Marx #journalismpurge

I'm already seeing a few #TwitterVIPs saying they'll go back if #Elon steps down.

Even when they know whoever takes his place will be just as cozy (if not more so) with far right users.

I say good riddance, please encourage them to return to #Twitter.

#Mastodon will be better with these folks gone.

Thank you for the gift. The title alone explains why 'he with hair plugs' kicked :elon: them off #Twitter.

@darkcarnivaleric

In the future I would also make sure you add relevant hashtags like #Journalism #JournalismPurge #ElonMusk #ElonIsAPOS relevant ones...

We follow them here and add them for reach. Welcome to Mastodon!

@conradhackett @taylorlorenz
#JournalismPurge or #TwitterPurge seem to be effective search terms.

Washington Post technology reporter Taylor Lorenz has been suspended from Twitter. #JournalismPurge

@lauren

Well said.

#Mastodon has excellent tools for #curating our feeds -- #blocking words some may find annoying/triggering/offensive, #muting accounts temporarily, etc.

Blocking is not the norm here, it's usually a last resort.

So let the #Elon and #Twitter #fascist #tantrum content flow.

We really do need to know what's happening. And we need to act. History has proven how important this moment is.

Welcome aboard, Alexa. Glad you're with us. 🥳

One difference between #Twitter and #Mastodon is a lack of (creepy) algorithms promoting what we all see.

Most #TwitterVIP #journalists only follow a few here. That's due to Twitter's feudal status and power dynamic.

But here, when we #FollowBack our Home feeds get more active, when we #Boost often, this amplifies great content.

#Mastodon is all about organic engagement.

@RobHadley @w7voa Agreed. I will be really disappointed if the journalists now unbanned after the #JournalismPurge now go back on the #BirdSite like everything is fine.

@reuters

What in the turkey goblins type of story is this.

"Dec 17 (Reuters) - #Elon usk said on Saturday he will reinstate the Twitter accounts of several #journalists that were suspended in a controversy over publishing public data about the billionaire' s plane.

"The people have spoken. Accounts who doxxed my location will have their suspension lifted now," he tweeted."

That's it? No mention that no journalist doxed him? #JournalismPurge

@evan

Kinda like "First they came for the #journalists, but I was also a #journalist, so I didn't speak up."

The @auschwitzmuseum is being censored on Twitter when they try to tweet their official link to their other social media profile on #Mastodon

Hoo boy, the journos are now in meltdown mode. Are there any journos that have moved on from birdsite emotionally that can be followed?

Addiction to the clout (OF DEAD ACCOUNTS!) and the compulsion triggering firehose is strong. The blue checks and elites are having a hard time dealing w/arbitrariness routinely dished out to the peasants.
