Two of our #nonprofit accounts were closed by X without notice.

One account for our award-winning Gaming Against Violence program. The other account about the importance of #resilience for young people.

"TOS violation" without clarifying. X never responded to requests for help or info.

⭐Presumably, it was due to having "follow us on #Mastodon" in the profile info.

X is a #fraud.

Agreed.

Since Dec 5th many good people have been shot to death with little news coverage.

Meanwhile, media outlets churned out nearly identical stories, every few hours, of the death of an arguably bad, but definitely wealthy, guy.

Social & traditional media matter: they inform public discourse which shapes our norms (and our laws in theory).

😞 ~50 people are murdered with firearms in the US every day.*

Were each tragedy sufficiently covered there would not be enough time to read their stories.

It has become so bad even kindergarten kids shot while at school receive relatively little mention.

👉 This is what the US has become and folks need to step up if they want to be part of the solution. This will not fix itself.
