One thing you will notice is that many of the most famous leftwing accounts stayed on X to absolutely call out both liberals and MAGA. I asked why this is, and the answer is that leftists have been operating in openly hostile environments for years. I think they're doing the lord's work while liberals all flocked to Bluesky because they're fucking cowards.
But the left is making sure they're having a bad time there now too, and it's a delight to see
@collectifission @lyndamerry484
To clarify - leftists are hated by both liberals and conservatives because both ideologies are right wing. So they're used to taking all kinds of shit and have been for years now. We need people who will endure abuse to call out injustice.
Libs probably thought that leaving Twitter would bankrupt it and that it would go away, which is patently ridiculous.
Liberals want an echo chamber that will reinforce their delusions, but leftists refuse to give it to them

@CosmickTrigger as a communist myself, I get it. I've been on X until recently with the same stance. Eventually I did quit posting there though. I won't delete the account, but keep it dormant. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

@lyndamerry484 They learned from Orban, Hungarian advisers helped the US oligarchs implement the plans. The upcoming elections in Hungary are the first in very many years when Orban is at serious risk of losing.

Minimize your usage of their products / services:
- Mastodon is a great start
- Look at other news sources but always check their ownership. Independent Media > Independent State owned Media
- Switch from propriety software to open source whenever possibleList of Independent Media to get you started:

@lyndamerry484 there is a giant urgency to replace our money-driven societies world-wide with value-driven societies. Money is an ideologie, that is, when applied as a mean to organise, classify the society, in stead of a simple mean to swap goods. Money has become THE political power which is idiotic and truely fascist. Better criteria are wisdom, a sense of fairness, granting the diggers of raw materials full autonomy and paying them for the actual value of the mined goods.

Re: news outlets,
It's dire that big media has all been co-opted by the right wing. Yet, there are so many amazing, brave, excellent independent news orgs out there, needing and deserving support. As well as independent journalists, social critics, and others with individual forums (blogs, etc).
I think the age of media conglomerates is dying, and it's a beautiful and exciting landscape for independent journalism! They need our support.

Sorry, that was poor phrasing on my part. Not "dying" per se (as conglomerates will continue to conglomerate), but in the death knells. Their product will be right-leaning "infotainment." Some people like consuming that, but anyone in search of actual news and truth does not. Any real journalists will continue to bail/ be fired. Those companies will probably keep some number of bleary-eyed consumers who love infotainment. not me!
