Why is anyone else but nazis on X at this point?

I think a lot of artists are still holding on to their following there, bluesky has a lot of the same features (more actually because it allows you to change settings to hide NSFW images), but it's hard to migrate a following to a new site.

If the followers dont follow you then they aren’t followers are they

Well several police department use it ro send our amber alerts. Dear God that's a terrible idea but it true. Months ago there was a twitter outage that stop any emergency alert from going out.

Amber Alerts have their own system that has nothing to do with Twitter. A lot of people disable it but it rings on your phone the way an emergency alert does and it's local to your area. I'm sure they also send alerts through twitter, bluesky, and fascist-book just to cover bases but the main system is not dependent on a social media platform. That would be stupid.

You should read that article more carefully. The Amber alert went out on the phone system I mentioned but the detailed information was being displayed on Xwitter. And that was a local decision by that particular police force. Obviously a poor decision at that.

I never said it was a national thing.
