Instagram is also part of META for info

Such a WhatsApp channel would be declared terrorist propaganda and shutdown in the US. Thank god there is only 1 round of voting in most states. We appreciate the other tips.

Whaaat?

That's exactly why you have to regain Twitter back. You have to beat them in their own game and take control of the discussion.

His name is musk after all. What I do not understand is most people think he is a genius inventor two things he is not. He is clearly not smart just listen to him talk. He also never incented anything but he has invested.

I mean technically but they'll fuck off out of your algo unless someone who's otherwise supposed to be there interacts with them (qrts for ex), you have to actively go look. so it's still an effective "fuck off, don't wanna look at you" tool there

i feel like twitter may have been healthier for me because it's... not really showing me anything i didn't know. like yeah no shit chuds are awful. film at 11. here, the takes aren't, like, better a lot of the time, but the userbase is a lot more skewed to people i'm gonna be disappointed by.

Threads isn’t much better.

No. Ditch twitter. Main stream, middle of the road people don't really use twitter anymore. It is more and more a right wing echo chamber, with more bots than people.

No one should be on Twitter, ergo, no.

I tried going back on just as an observer. I found it an awful environment and most of the people I interacted with also had a presence on Bluesky, so I deleted my Twitter account. No regrets in doing it.

I stayed on it but I hate what it dies to me. Right now Im suspended which is a good thing. Its a rampant cesspit of bigotry and hate, and anytime I report anyone nothing happens. I got suspended for calling someone a jagoff ffs. Pathetic.

Every now and then I peek in on Twitter and it is really incredible how full of right wing disinformation and rage bait is on there.

I find plenty of hate on here as well. Show any sign of dissent and you become the enemy. I’m happy to see much less of this here though.

And the Amazon!

I'm a far less-frequent user since late 2025, but browsing Google News is a decent news aggregation experience. I used it heavily for the 15 years before that, and found it easy to tailor to my interests. (Yes I know about filter bubbles. One can also browse or search with it while logged out.)

I just don’t think it’s ethical or wise to be on any Meta product in a personal capacity. They’re pushing AI, it’s been shown said AI will happily absorb all your texts if you let it. If we’re treating it as needed for political engagement, there need to be guides on insulating your privacy.

There are more channels than Twitter and meta. You can MAKE more channels. Start a discord channel and start posting to each other. Start a hobby club, join a sports club, find a bar, MEET PEOPLE. Go to LinkedIn, go to tumblr, go to Pinterest.

I disagree. If everyone on the left departed Twitter, it would disintegrate. It requires conflict to thrive. Leave MAGA et Al to fall out amongst themselves.

I don’t use twitter either but irs because I don’t believe any data is safe there.

It is to this day. Even worse. He’s shamelessly turned it into his personal fascist megaphone, complete with bullshit, lies and propaganda. Muskism threatens planet earth. I won’t get into the millions of deaths he’s caused from shuttering USAid and all the right-wing conspiracies he promulgates.

Bro, we brazilians stormed X. Following Janones directions, we put all of our hashtags on the trending topics Don't interact with the far right. Organize and mobilize, that's the key Ignore them, let them talk to their bubble They only talk to people outside the bubble when we amplify what they say

I do all that. I avoid boosting of the right by using lists. There are no algorithms in Twitter lists, tweets are in real-time. Only the accounts you add appear. So I make lists around topics or who I don't want to miss, then I check easily with a nice cup of tea. Job done. 😊👍

He said it was a WhatsApp channel, not a WhatsApp group that has a 1k max cap.

Or you quit feeding the machine and starve the beast. I hear what you are saying but I think it is misguided

You're right, this is the beginning of a path to successfully overturning so much disinformation. The tide of discourse - how would you define that practically speaking, for social media? Can we target it directly? Gathering teachers as you mention - great! Make counter-disinfo handbooks too.

Great to know there was method to Lula's winning - we need the Left-ish to understand the power of such coordination. Were there specifics to how meta's rightwing propaganda was countered? Does the average person not engage, but there intended, repeated true messages counter? Congratulations!🥂

Ignoring the right is the best advice.

Instagram is a hard NO for me, given Meta's policy of stealing content and personal information. I also have no desire to be monetized by Zuckerberg.
