Imagine having to choose between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. What a world we live in.

I choose neither
I think that’s the issue… You guys overthink with too much emotion. Using X doesn’t mean you “choose“ Elon. I mean, you might see it that way, but others don’t.

Choosing twitter adds to daily active users, algorithm, metrics, all that. It supports him in the same way buying a Tesla boosts Elon’s wealth.

It’s called voting with your wallet. You have every right to choose where you put your attention and choosing not to support a nazi is absolutely reasonable

It’s not that I don’t understand your thought process, I just don’t really apply it to my life that way. It’s like if I listen to a Chris brown song, I don’t feel morally or ethically wrong as if I’m “supporting” a woman beater. What he did was wrong and he is a piece of ***** for it. It’s never okay to hit a woman. But his music will occasionally come up on my playlists and I don’t feel like a bad person for it. You might want me to feel like a bad person (not saying you do), but I simply don’t. Twitter is my preferred platform of that type. It’s while I will use. Call me a “chooser” or a “contributer” but that’s a you problem. Not a me problem. You could reply with “well that just speaks to your character” or something similar, but most people who know me know that I’m a good person. I don’t think many people care if you like what they choose or not. Most people have their perspectives and are unlikely (though not impossible) to change. We all need to do a better job of just minding our own business. But by all means, use your voice and take a stand when and where you feel appropriate.
