Mayor Pete said it best when asked about going on Fox News. He points out that for a large population of people that may be the only place he may reach them.
If the goal is to get a message out, you're going to have to utilize effective channels and some may be uncontrollable.

@thomasfuchs I can understand why some communities have chosen to stay on Twitter, but arguing that companies shouldn't leave Twitter because that's where the people are because of "companies that aren't on anything else" seems like circular reasoning.

@thomasfuchs I don't really complain. I just accept it. But the sad thing is that it brings my expectations down all over the place.
Compared to many of the problems in the world leaving Twitter is easy, possibly it is the easiest thing out there.
It's easier than solving environmental problems. It's easier than ending wars.
It is a supreme irony to me that people talk on Twitter about solving those bigger things

@thomasfuchs Right. Is it a classic collective action problem. But then, many problems in our world are even harder collective action problems.
