MODERATORS
Twitter was an important unifying communications tool during the Arab Spring. The Arab spring was a threat to biz as usual in places like Saudi Arabia. The second largest investor in Twitter is Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia killed and dismembered a journalist from the US, more or less in plain sight. Elon is now killing and dismembering Twitter in plain sight to limit its power as a unifying tool that stands as a demonstrable, active threat to capitalism and oligarchs around the world.
Billionaires do favors for other billionaires. It's part of why spez is trying to tank Reddit. Remember how dangerous Reddit was to capitalism's status quo around the time of GME/Robinhood/Antiwork recently.
The specific moment we're in right now is meant to shatter consolidated organizing power on Reddit as we splinter into several smaller alternative platforms (or for some, disconnect entirely). Not saying we shouldn't be in Lemmy, but calling out the larger reality of the moment.

Hey I see you're commenting from lemmy.world, since yesterday I've had troubles opening links, viewing posts and images, and posting comments. Are you having the same issues? I wasn't even able to open this post on my lemmy.world account
https://lemmy.world gained 40%+ users on July 1st alone.
Methinks the servers are melting from #RedditBlackout.
That's happening all around. I'm actually impressed that Lemmy still works that well. Reddit/Twitter would be in burning ruins if the daily active users multiply by a factor of 20 within a few weeks. And they aren't run by a bunch of hobbyists doing this in their spare time, like most instances are.
