I mean they’re journalists I have been following for a long time, if they’ve been bots al that time (including interviews on radio and in podcasts) that would be quite a long game.
x is shit, musk made it worse, it would be nice if the fediverse could compete on al fronts, but at the moment the only place where these journalists are is on x.
could I wait until they publish their consolidated thoughts somewhere else? yes. would that be mentally healthier? yes. but in these high stress, quick moving moments, unfortunately only x serves that role.
But Twitter doesn’t show you each post in chronological order. It will “randomly” hide statements from you that don’t support goodthink. So even if you are reading timelines written by reputable people, their message will be corrupted. Stop wasting your time with fascists.
Or you’re just another iteration of the same generic rube as 85% of the world’s population. The VAST majority of people are completely clueless and just keep doing whatever everyone else is doing.
How the fuck do artists like Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift have gargantuan followships? Because of the above. It’s that dumb- propaganda works, PR works, psychological mass manipulation is trivial if you have the infrastructure for it, and they do.
At this point if you’re still on X you’re either a glutton for boot, or you’re semi-famous with a horrible audience.
I’m on x to follow the possible start of WWIII. even with al the bullshit, it’s still the best place to follow what is actually happening.
once WWIII is over I will, of course, delete the app again.
Literally the yahoo news site was better than X for that.
