   There's a pretty simple way for Elon to increase Twitter's revenue: Kick out the Nazis.

   But he bought it to give the Nazis a platform.

   So option 2: Become a Nazi bank.

   As a social media platform grows, and its user base becomes more and more reflective of the underlying society it is serving, it will have more and more users on it who behave in ways that the initial culture will not consider "reasonable".

   This is the necessary consequence of having less social homogeneity.

   Some of that will be because of simple culture clash, where new users come from other cultures with other social expectations and norms. But some of that will be because older users weren't aware they were relying on the niche nature of the platform to just *avoid* antisocial or poorly socialized people, and don't really have a plan for what to do about them when they show up in ever greater numbers, except to leave, only now they *can't* leave, not with impunity, because they're invested in the platform.

   So the conflict level goes up dramatically.

   As artists we are aghast if we by proxy add to union busting.

   But:
   -Bandcamp workers do not want boycott or to harm artists
   -Many artists are by no means able to ride out any loss from what has generally been the least worst platform.

   So we are:
   -Following @bandcampunited for how we can advocate/help
   -If artists have not voiced objection we will support #bandCampFriday since 100% of funds go to artists on these days and zero to worker harassment.

   a tough situation for #solidarity all around
