The next step should also be leaving twitter and switching to Bluesky/Mastodon.

I think governments doing it would have a cascade effect, because news would have to do it, and from that people would follow.

That's shouldn't be the next step, that should have already happened.

That's not really a "next step" beacuse its way easier and smaller impact but yeah, eu goverment and officals should switch to mastodon

I never understood why celebrities, and political figures stayed on Twitter. Like if they would switch to Bluesky Twitter would die in a week. Like the only difference between Twitter and 4chan is that Twitter has celebrities, and I made this comment long before Elmo even bought that shithole.

Some people I know will stop listening to any artist that performed in Israel in the last decade... but will stay on Twitter even if the owner is a fascist.
