When Elon was losing class action lawsuits for his blatant, egregious, and widespread racism against Black people, and Black folk were decrying his Alt-right antics and the harm that they cause, everyone was fine. Tesla drivers weren't all the devil. People still cheered SpaceX launches.

Now Elon's Alt-Right antics have come for a much wider circle. Now everyone that stays on Twitter is the devil, and an irredeemably bad person? 🙂🙃

This one-way solidarity ain't it.

Telling people to leave Twitter is silly anyway. The math ain't mathing for Elon. He may be losing hundreds of millions a month. Advertisers ain't coming back. The Eng and policy teams are at unsustainably low levels. This doesn't end well.

But I'll repeat what I said in my 1st few months on Mastodon: if you want communities to move over to Mastodon, make Mastodon better for those communities. Don't just yell "Elon is bad!" Many of the people you're telling, knew he was bad way before you did.

If a person says they want to see Mastodon scale to support 100 million users, a lot of Mastodon users will jump on that person's neck. 🤷🏿‍♂️ They'll be accused of having "VC brain", or being obsessed with hyper growth.

It's not about hyper growth for growth's sake. If you truly believe that Twitter is bad(tm) and Mastodon is good(tm), and that people should leave Twitter, then where exactly do you think those people should go? There's hundreds of millions of them.
