I pretty much stopped reading at the justification for hanging around on X. Lots of people are still there! But at least own it. &quot;I implicitly support the owner of the Nazi bar as long as he tells most of the Nazis to stay away from me&quot; isn&#x27;t a moral stand I&#x27;d be comfortable committing to on paper, digitally, or otherwise.

I used to go to that bar a lot. When it became clear it was becoming a Nazi bar, and the owner saw that as a feature, not a bug, I stopped. Describing it as a network prison seems to imply that staying there isn&#x27;t just a choice like anything else. Yes, it&#x27;s a choice with consequences, potentially very negative ones, but these things often are. If it were always easier to be moral than amoral, we wouldn&#x27;t be in this mess.

Unfortunately the network prison keeps people at the Nazi bar.
Mandatory Interoperability is the only solution here, which depends on the government, which depends on Nov 11 folks.

&gt; if you spent a lot of time on X you will likely remember a particular one: everyone seemed to be suddenly becoming fans of Adolf Hitler... I did not leave X the platform, but I did leave X the interfaceYou know, it really is entirely optional to hang out at the Nazi bar.&gt; A phone connected to cell is an always-on tracking deviceA phone connected to wifi is also an always-on tracking device. You can&#x27;t really escape this without removing the &quot;phone&quot; part of the equation
