Given St. Paul’s reputation for left-wing activism, kinda surprised they were still on Twitter for this long.
There are a lot of leftists still “fighting the good fight” on Xitter, even if the platform is pitted against them and all they do is drive engagement to it. I never understood why some people can’t bring themselves to leave. I left reddit for much less.
Habit is one hell of a thing.
Also for a lot of people, their social circle is partly there.
i.e. I use discord because my partners do so even if I know that it sucks.

I get that, but at this point I’d actively try to get them to use a different site/app. I managed to move large parts of my friend group and my whole family to Signal. I’m now trying to get some to transition from Discord to Matrix, though moving there has definitely been not as smooth.
It should be much easier with Twitter, there are a bunch of very similar and usable alternatives. You just have to put in some work and convince people with solid arguments and support.
Then again, discord is not outright fascist. Yes it’s a shitty company, but shitty companies are the standard
Twitter though? I feel as if a lot more people could go “if you want to ever talk with me again, go here” and people would follow. It’s a bit harder to argue for staying on twitter when all of this shit is going on
Then again, a lot of my friends are still on twitter despite me telling how fucking dangerous that site is now, so eh. I don’t really get it, though. Then again, I have little sympathy for people who complain that something is too complex just because it doesn’t do literally everything for you. A lot of people are just addicted to convenience, despite it harming them in the long run
Used to like st Pauli till I found out they were Zionists. What is up with German leftists?
Of course it’s St. Pauli.
