The hubski feed's activity banner at the top doesn't capture drafts, so I have been using that to slip under the radar by delaying Trump-garbage postings.

I agree with your italicized summary of where the movement's anger is directed, but I think this is yet another "no ideological consistency required" situation. The MAGA base might turn out in droves because of the big lie, but if someone prosecutes Trump or something else unforseen goes down, he'd run on being prosecuted (etc., reactionary), and it might work ("vote to keep me out of jail, we warned you they'd try doing this to us, folks. Faked evidence from fake people.") We might get Big Lie 2, but we can absolutely trot out the original classic for a good time and the palace coup.

Anyway. Twitter. Somehow Musk buying twitter is, in and of itself, literally owning the libs, and the libs are barking mad about it. Every fox primetime pundit has said this, but I don't think it's as true as they'd like, in a general sense, but true enough for Tucker to roll tape of a twitter employee crying in reaction to the deal (P.S. the NYTimes piece that just dropped on Tucker is like "yeah, we know, we know", but it was kinda nice to see it all laid out. Best bit is confirming that Fox knowingly and intentionally uses white supremacist appeals). Fox & co. are beside themselves with delight that Musk could do away with moderation. Which is like signaling "I can hardly wait to get back to doing some of the worst possible things on the internet!". So yes, you're likely right. I expect a slow exodus, it will still probably remain a relevant platform for a while, and probably long enough that if Trump gets the mic back, that's considerably worse than if he's still relegated to struggling right-wing message boards. That's far and away my biggest concern, but a migration could also shake up journalism and reporting for a while, which have already taken a beating recently. Having to collectively decide on a new "town square" is at least a little annoying, and I wonder if it's possible that right now, Twitter sets the record for the largest shared virtual commonspace (defined numerically w/ daily users and interaction metrics and content output or something), and Twitter and everything else only splinters from here. At least for a while. We are now fairly well into to the 'social media' phase of political polarization.

Maybe on a better timeline, we could talk about nationalizing a virtual commonspace, because I agree with you (from in another thread far, far away) that it's looking more and more difficult to turn a profit and have sufficient content moderation for popular platforms. Hmm, I wonder if a capitalist with $46 bln invested will tend towards profit or moderation. Actually, it's going to be entertaining to see what Musk will do if Twitter takes a dive due to advertisers and user base peace'ing out over rampant dis-, mis-, racist, sexist, violence, harassments, whatever.

Speaking of book bans and burns, have you heard about the censored content library in minecraft? Someone should build a U.S. wing and put all the books banned by schools recently in there.
