IBM has the free speech right to also not advertise on something if they don't want. But I guess the worry is that Elon will bring back censorship if he loses money with less advertisers. I think also IBM is down in profits, who do they make any more? So they're just advertising less anyway.

While I think Elon's pockets will help for some time, the bad PR is here and I have seen losses in Twitter's valuation. Normies and leftists are also averse to the increased right-wing speech, so they are banking on Threads/Bluesky/Cohost/Mastodon. The site becoming another Gab or BitChute is not going to help the movement.

Mastodon is a joke. It's a small circular hugbox, heavily censored with no reach.

Seems like the left wants an ideological divide, if they decry the most mainstream platform for being more lax on speech. What to do?
