I said this from day one but I'm hearing more and more each day proving me right so I thought I'd help you guys from falling for this latest psyop.

Keep your eye on the ball, not the cups.

Twitter was beginning to have a major image problem. The RAMPANT manipulation by Twitter to steer public opinion had been so abused or overused that even the dumbest or normies were starting to notice and wake up... That's a big problem, especially right before an election cycle.

All this drama with Musk, Twitter, the bots,... All of it is primarily intended to rebuild public trust in Twitter and social media apps. Nothing will change, they will still censor and manipulate just as before if not worse. The difference is people will not notice anymore because everyone is being programmed again to believe that somehow free speech is being restored... It's not.

I agree with the separation aspect. In the days before FB, all of my online accounts used aliases... that's what EVERYONE did. My AIM chat sidebar had nothing but aliases, but I knew that "StinkyPinky69" was my friend from second period. I had a MySpace with an alias, when FB started taking over I created an account and used an alias... very quickly all my friends started using their legal names and I was the only one still using an alias for a long time. I remember being so pissed off at how easily everyone seemed to ditch something that I felt was important.

You are probably of only 5 people I have met in person or online in my entire life that has pointed out that at least in principle it's important to separate the idea from the person. I'm always equally disappointed in people when I see them unable to judge ideas and concepts on their own and I see it as a strategy of laziness. Why think through a concept when instead I can just point out this person's ratty shoes and ignore their life-altering advice?

But we know why names became mandatory... control.

The cracks are starting to show though. and the coming depression presents an opportunity, a gap in their armor, but it will be narrow and it will be well-defended. Until then small sites like Voat/Poal are going to be pivotal.

I'm sure you would agree so I'll say it for others. While the seeds of dissent may be planted online. The revolution will be offline.
