A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yes but they're on Xitter, because Social Graph.
Fair enough. They’re trying to reach the broadest audience they can. The sad part is the folks that will actually listen and give a shit is a dwindling number on Xitter. They’re better off posting to both if not already. A massive swath of users that would be more receptive moved to Bluesky or left social media entirely.
Most of them are on several platforms. Some are not, which I agree is disappointing.
Fuck Social Graph.
Leftists staying on Shitter for audience is a display of weakness and shallow resistance.
If they moved, they would pull significant amount of users with them.
Fuck them for staying.
Once again, that has nothing to do with the conversation we're having. The question was why they haven't left Xitter.
