American and owned by American capitalists might be a big disadvantage, but that doesn’t automatically equals it to the nazi deepfake porn platform for foreign troll armies that X has become. Europeans better move to mastodon, but still moving to Bluesky is way better than staying at X. Bluesky is basically similar to X a decade ago. No sane and intelligent person in the world can deny that Twitter a decade ago was way better than C today.

Great moment for a bunch of high profile decent VIP’s to make a video endorsing Peter Magyar

Might be true in some cases, but up to date news becomes pretty useless when covered under a large amount of fake news.

Arte is great (although I think it would help if there is more subtitle languages available, sometimes at all. Can’t make my kids very happy yet with the current available programs.

Understandable, especially when there might be a lot of links to the profile around the internet. However, in that particular case it’s still possible to delete all content, contacts / follows, followers, and profile images and descriptions etcetera, make the profile private, and give it some semi-permanent dead existence, or delete if a year later or so.

Initially with the aim of finding out which one I prefer, and to better be able to help other Linux starters like my 75yo father when they have questions. Additional benefit: if I damage one of the distro’s into some severe state of unusability (like I did yesterday per accident), I can still use the other distro😀

I agree with you that there is currently nothing equivalent to Twitter. Especially in terms of the number of Russian and other foreign government trolls, the glorification of fascist efforts, and the number of inactive accounts.

Also agree that fediverse currently lacks the massive user base to be the best alternative at this moment.

Twitter was awesome 10 years ago. Current Bluesky is pretty much the twitter before it became an uncool fascist troll shithole, and it does have quite a user base. Hence, for now it’s the best alternative imho. Presumably not until eternity, but for now it is.

Financially, or when their customers require so, or when damaging to their image. At least the latter two are quite influenceable.

You could tell him that X isn’t cool anymore. That Bsky (or mastodon) is the new Twitter, but without the 90% trolls and without the advertisements every other 3 posts

If I understand correct, it’s payed by donations, see accompanied link.

Lots of positive replies until now, roughly 30% (further 20% ‘well internally discuss’, 10% ‘no because trolls are our primary target group’, 40% no reply yet.)

I wouldn’t. Not because I don’t think it’s a good idea, but I want to let them see that specifically X became a disgusting fascist deepfake childporn abyss. Adding fb as well, increases the risk they don’t quit any of them, because it might give them the illusion my message says more about me ‘being anti social media’ rather than about X in particular.

Since few weeks I’m replying to all mails with X in the footer (newsletters as well as email signature of corporate mails) to tell them it would be great if they stop promoting this crappy outlet. Concise, polite and motivated.

From roughly half of them I didn’t get a reply yet. From the other half, a MAJORITY reacts positive. We all should know, the MAIN reason most organizations are still there, is because someone decided so in 2010 (!). They never thought about it afterward, because their audience / customer ‘never asks for that’.

Be. That. Customer / Reader. Who. DOES. Ask. For. That.

As long as you’re still there, you can still provide a useful contribution by continuously replying the photo and link as attached in first message, to all companies, sports clubs, govt officials that still stay there. They’ll say you’re a hypocrite, but better a good hypocrite than congruent garbage 😉
