6/6 As for Bluesky and Threads, I am present on both of those platforms, but it’s “wait and see” in both cases. Bluesky is still in basically a private beta (I have 5 invites currently, but frankly I don’t see much demand for them); until it opens up, I can’t really take it seriously. Threads is similar, as it has promised fediverse support. But, as with Musk and X, I also don’t want to hand control of my socials to one very powerful person (Zuck). So, I’m committed to Mastodon.

While I appreciate your thoughtfulness, those are all just reasons you are not doing the principled thing.

Maybe leaving X impacts a tech journalist more than me, I have no idea, that's not how principles work.

Musk is a fascist, we don't use fascist platforms.

nostr:npub16amvkqtxxxsqk6a5s7f4w3guzrjejw69zy8hnwe6ug6gkcn222ks8wscuf well, personally I don't think either Musk or X is "fascist" -- that's too strong a term and IMHO it's way over-used on all forms of social media. That said, I freely admit I am still using X for pragmatic reasons (my job). I don't like what Musk has done to it and I hope Mastodon (or another fediverse product) eventually usurps it. So that's my position, fwiw.
