It's crazy that Twitter has such an outsized influence on the public, and I think it's because news outlets amplify it so much.
It doesn't have that many active users. And news rarely covers other platforms when something makes a lot of noise and reaches many eyeballs.
News should cover Lemmy!
Clumsily, and in a way that harms revenue.
How about we ignore him? Both of them?
No shit, but then even Obama used Twitter to win the elections. What's new?
The owner of the platform blatantly and openly supporting one side is new. We used to call that election interference
Is it new? Every publisher and platform seems to openly support one side or another.
At least he is honest about who he / the platform supports, not some shady algorithm pending to one side, or some tv channel being left while another is right lol
No, he's doing both. He's both open about his love for authoritarians AND uses shady algorithms to promote Nazi bullshit.
