   If you’re still on Twitter/X does that mean you’re a fascist?

   No, of course not.

   It just means fascism isn’t a deal breaker for you.

     @Mor696 First off, don’t paraphrase me and create a red herring to rile against.

     Secondly, kindly go bark up some other tree.

     (In case that’s too wishy-washy BS language, I’m telling you in no uncertain terms to fuck off.)

     Sorry I completely Disagree with your statement Aral!

     If you're still on Twitter you are supporting Fascism so therefore if you support fascism you are by default a fascist.

     You see comments like yours are what's wrong with the world. It gives people a way to duck and cover & hide their true beliefs.

     Your comment is little more than gaslighting.

     People in general need to say what they mean and mean what they say and stop with the wishy washy BS language.

     @fredsarm Yes, Frederico, those who vocally oppose fascism are fascists. Congratulations! Which giant stuffed animal would you like?

     Also, some "influencers", who have spent thousands of dollars to buy followers, even not being fascist, militate against other social network for keeping their business. It's a complex tie to untie.
     People are not perfect and to demand "perfection" from others is usually a behavior of fascist individuals.

     It's a complex thing. Twitter is a communication tool for people that post different topics.
     After Musk, it became a warped thing that bother anyone who isn't fascist due to the fascist character of its owner. But they have years invested time to get followers and can't simply throw it away. Musk knew this when bought it. Also, there is people who follow those profiles and doesn't wanna lose them.

     I still post on Twitter because I refuse to let fascists chase me out of the public square. Also, it's big fun to to troll #MAGAts .

     @LevZadov No, thank you.

     It is an algorithmically-curated centralised network. Your voice is only as loud as Elon Musk allows it to be. And by being active on their you are both legitimising it in numbers (which means more advertising money for Elon) and perpetuating the myth that you can carry out effective resistance when someone else controls the volume of your microphone and what you see and don’t see (you can’t).

     Create an account. Don't give up your data. Don't use your real name. Use a VPN if it will make you feel more secure. Test it for leaks. Chain two or more together if you want real stealth. Don't ignore fingerprinting:
