Sometimes the Decision Gets Made for You

Musk's app reinstates user who posted 'child exploitation photos'

Musk explaining his decision to reinstate an account that posted CSE (archive.is)

Sometimes, a decision gets made by the restriction of the possible options to a single plausible choice.

I'm done with Twitter. Locked my account, cleared my info, posted a message to the effect of the following: I won't use a platform that doesn't take CSE seriously, where the posting of such doesn't earn you a ban and a report to the Feds.

Left as subtext: maybe all of you can justify it to yourself, but I can't. And maybe you didn't know about it before, but if you see this, you'll know about it now.

With the understanding that not everyone is hyperconnected and Very Online and aware of all the awful stuff going on at any given time, I don't want to stick around and talk to people who know this is going on, and have made the conscious decision to just keep posting. One of the two main communities I'm a part of/identify with has mostly moved to Mastodon. The poetry and writing communities have been pretty resistant. But at some point it becomes a moral test. And staying says who you are.
