I don't want to overstate the stakes here. Ultimately, as the site gets ruined you can just... stop using it. But you actually have to, you know, do that. If you stay on, your information environment will slowly be poisoned and therefore your mind will be poisoned.

Probably goes without saying but the often clownish administrative incompetence (along with that fact reassuring the liberals that the regime will therefore collapse on its own without requiring anything of them) is a pretty obvious parallel to actual fascist regimes as well

Not really my problem I guess but def feels like one of those "if you don't know how'd you'd react when the fascist take over, now you know" situation

It's pretty remarkable how much Elon's Twitter takeover is a textbook fascist takeover: leftists immediately purged, censorship regime imposed behind the scenes, secret police rooting out enemies, right wing terrorism supported by the state, etc and how uncannily similar the mainstream liberal response of pretending nothing is wrong is, even with *very low* costs of walking out the door and refusing to collaborate.
