The other one is:
As if the literal dictator of the platform is scared of some mean tweets. SMH
I saw something a couple days ago where someone said they tried switching to Mastodon but they missed their thousands of followers from Twitter.
It's like, have a fucking backbone. Someone has to lead the way.
For real. If they have that many followers, they should tell the followers to move with them, ffs. Tell them which instance you're joining, and while I bet they'd lose some, they'd probably succeed in moving a sizeable portion, and those people would be their real fans anyway.
Considering how many mean tweets he's just blocked people for or erased, he apparently is?
He's not, or he'd change his behavior. As it stands, he can unilaterally ban anyone for any reason, real or imagined.
Him banning or blocking people isn't fear, it's a demonstration of power.
