Who is struggling because UAW lost their blue check mark? I’m an X user. I’ve found my usage of the product generally uninterrupted and am confused by statements like this.
So you are ok supporting a platform that is actively taking the power away from organization helping people because it is a good experience? I mean you are on Lemmy, so you must have some sense to the issues surrounding centralized anything, especially media?
For me it’s a lot like paying taxes. No I’m not ok with it, but it’s required of me so I just coast along because revolting would not be worth it.
As you say, I have no problem revolting against a platform over injustice (15y Redditor here, left when they did dirty).
They removed a blue check mark. It’s petty. It’s stupid. It’s not revolution worthy imo.
I understand your position and you make some good points here.
A: UAW

I didn’t realize that the blue check did anything meaningful that would make it so horrible.
They didn’t put the UAW in a prison camp. Ffs I’m sorry but it’s a leap from blue check to prison camp.
I’ve since discovered that this is a red vs blue powered issue, which makes this discussion moot. Throwing rocks for any reason at the other color isn’t useful. I vote third party and stay out of red vs blue.
