    I upvoted because I definitely see the irony of it, but I'm gonna play devils advocate for a second. The town crier has to be in town to spread the word. It's crappy, but it seems to be a commonality for some people that probably regret that reality.

    Twitter isn't the town. It's the nazi bar.

    Yea, I agree it is the nazi bar. But for some goofy ass reason, businesses and people like this lady feel that they just have to be there to accomplish whatever it is they think they're going to get out of it. That's the gist of what I was saying.

    My housemate is still on Twitter because of horse racing. She wants to get the last three race tracks in California shut down for good. Unfortunately all the people who are pro-racing are on Twitter, so if she shoves statistics and death rates on Mastodon or Bluesky they won't see them. They like the Nazi bar and aren't going anywhere else.

    I don't think she still has her checkmark though.

    I've said something similar on a similar part before but was quickly corrected that what looked like xitter there was actually Mastodon. I don't have either or never had so I don't know but might this be Mastodon?

    This is Twitter. You can sample a clean part of the background to get a very commonly recognized SRGB hex code. OR it's faked to look like Twitter.

    Also, this account gives muskrat $8 a month

    Edit: spelling

    One heartening fact is that even with all this, people are increasingly angry and dissatisfied with the thick layers of constant bullshit.

    We haven't lost. It takes all this to accomplish what they're aiming, and it's not a given they pull it off. Not all of us welcome comforting lies over devastating truths.

    Make it hard for them, recruit people away, back to reality by offering real info and sources. And otherwise watch the gross simulacra of society thrash about from as much distance as can be managed.

    Yep. We know. The folks on twitter do to, except they don't care.
