but I do not often find great content on there

Because you're looking for Nazis saying Nazi shit... You're always gonna find that where Nazis hang out with other Nazis

What I'm saying is we're well past the "raising awareness" stage of things.

Pointing out there's Nazis on Twitter is like saying they're on 4chan a decade ago.

As far as this:

Twitter is still the platform with the most journalistic presence

I don't think that's true, but the reason the last few journalists are there, is because some normal people are still there

Which brings us full circle to why I made the comment about people should stop giving twitter oxygen.

Agreed.

Most non-nazi people there have accounts on either mastodon or bluesky. So if you want to make a point to them by quoting a Twitter post, just screenshot from xcancel.com and post elsewhere.

If you want to make a point to nazi, doing it on Twitter has no use, you should consider do it politically or economically (I don’t suggest physically but technically it works too)

Meanwhile I would say I haven’t found any value on Twitter, it’s just nazi found different way to say same nazi things everyday. After all, medium is the message.

Going to Bluesky is utterly pointless it's literally Twitter 2.0

Mastodon is the only real alternative but there are few interesting people on there which are not major tech nerds. The signup process is still too complicated.

I think the real issue here is that you just want to keep using twitter. You keep coming up with inane excuses like the lack of “interesting people” on these platforms or falsely equating Bluesky with Twitter. It sounds like the nazi social media is just your preferred space.

You sound like you use neither Twitter nor Mastodon.

I want to use Mastodon. But there is no content.

It's not though. You can find major scoops on Twitter hours, often days before it gets reported by the news. Reliably from people on the ground and reporters such as @ytirwawi and @ireallyhateyou translating them.

These are nowhere to be found on Mastodon.. News sites subsequently add no real info to those stories and often provide even less information than the original posters. Even Jeremy Scahill from Dropsitenews recently pointed out the despite being a Nazi platform, Twitter contains tonnes of content which cannot be found on other mainstream social media platforms.

completely agree abt the 'normal' ppl still using it. i always ask my friend group what it will take for them to leave the big platforms (meta, alphabet, twitter, etc.) & they always respond w "well, if there are good, active alternatives..."

sucks to keep having the same convos w them, but this is an uphill battle im willing to fight bc i love my ppl.
