        so why is ‘white dude for harris’ not on mastodon, instagram, bluesky or whatever the alternative is instead?

        twitter, as you say yourself is not a useable source of information or platform for people not on the nazi part of the political spectrum.

        its not like a public space we can take over. musk has all the control over who even gets seen.

          Likely because those are vastly under populated compared to Xitter. When running promo, you have to go where the people are sadly. It’s harder to make people come to you.

          Because those are unfortunately fringe tech, with Fringe user numbers (relatively speaking)

          I thought it was founded on Mastodon. At least that’s where I heard about it, 5 days or so before the fundraising call on Monday.

        Ignoring hyper-spoiled man-children and their fancy toys is EXACTLY how you deal with those types…

        Also, by ignoring it you cut out any ad revenue you would otherwise be generating for them.
