Economist. Ex Prof / central banker. If you post here other than to lobby against X you are morally complicit in a platform that is promoting fascism.

This is now an impossible site to use due to the encouragement of trolls, bots, pro Russian, and assorted other racist scum, so shall generally just repost what I do elsewhere. Suggest anyone real move somewhere else. I'm in a sunnier place and also linking in.

It's not a ground. It's some code and fonts. There's another place which is not being used to pursue far right causes. You are not winning anything by staying. All you are doing is helping continue Musk's objectives.

Yes, in order to thwart the efforts of the far right to undermine democracy and poison the information ecosystem, we all have to make some minor sacrifices.

Me too: but a country is not a website. A website is a bit of code used by the owner and author for some purpose. There are alternatives and if everyone moves, the owner loses any influence.

Bluesky heading towards 28 million users. Surely you can see the way this is going? All but far -right content migrating? Accelerated by Meta's recent pro Trump policy changes. The sooner you establish over there, the better, in the long run.

The far right website you are supporting is getting juiced at about 40% of the rate during the post election stampede. Each second, you are losing 4 people who aren't either far-right themselves or indifferent to far right content.

I think Elon is unhappy that Wikipedia is not for sale. I hope his campaign to defund us results in lots of donations from people who care about the truth. If Elon wanted to help, he'd be encouraging kind and thoughtful intellectual people he agrees with to engage.

Oh 🇨🇦why aren’t you boycotting X? There’s a viable alternative with going on 31m people, not run by an owner facilitating a fascist takeover and the blackmail of your country.

The only comfort I get from reading this vile piece of shit is that he is clearly a fucking moron with nothing between his ears.
