I have been musing in the weeks since the #election if we should have stayed on #xitter longer and tried to inform better. But as it was recently pointed out, online misinformation only works where there are people willing to engage it. It boosts search terms and algorithms even its its complete BS. Shock and outrage which hacked the #algorithm was the only way Milo Yanopolis and Ann Coulter got top search slots on google and twitter.
Refusing to engage in a platform creates an echo chamber which gets boring for trolls very quickly. So no, if anything its the fault of the people who didn't leave with the 2022 #twittermigration where people all moved over to #mastodon , instead of requiring losing an election to #Trump again.
