But all these journalists will continue to use Shitter as their main platform

I wish everyone else would just quit. It's so much easier than people think to switch platforms for anything

Seriously. Just as many people don’t listen to my ravings on firefish/mastodon as they did on Twitter.

Ex fucking actly.

Xitter is a shit show. It's terrible. Silencing journalists shouldn't happen.

That said, just abandon it already.
