Once again: no I'm not boycotting or deactivating my account on Friday.
I don't know why it's hard to consult the major communities in here before picking arbitrary dates & decisions.

Of course this whole thread about alternate ways to protest was mysteriously deleted.
Anyway. This is a really good thread about why some of us can't/won't leave or be pressured into the kinds of actions that have impact contrary to our goals.

Oh the thread.

A boycott that makes more sense.

And if this pops off I'm in for that too.

To summarize. I don't see how giving Akex Jones and others like him what they want - marginalized communities driven off Twitter - helps the situation or achieves our goals.
Starving their pockets while asserting that we have a right to be here makes more sense to me.
And please, when you're organizing a boycott or other forms of activism? Reach out to communities and people who have to protest their whole lives. It might help.
