I got pushback on #kbin for saying this, but I think that the fact many #leftist or #socialjustice content creators and influencers continue to use #twitter is hypocritical, and undermines their integrity. I might create a larger blog post explaining my thoughts on this. But I guess I would like to hear from #mastodon what you think of this take. I can understand users who still need to use it for their job or livelihood, but not creators who encourage their audience to follow them there.
@melroy@Hairyblue This is one of the reasons I use kbin over lemmy. The devs don't seem to have the same problematic beliefs as the lemmy devs. Also from my experience, the majority of the lemmy user base don't seem to share in their beliefs either.
Edited below. I imagine many of us are here from reddit, where hashtags weren't really a thing and in many places mentions were actively discouraged (/r/politics I'm looking at you). However, since everything we post or comment on kbin (and lemmy) has the potential of getting federated on a mastodon server, which leans heavily...
@Roundcat@effingjoe Like here I am replying to my #Kbin account with my #Mastodon account. The replies and threads appear as posts and replies on mastodon, and magazines can be followed like people.
