There seem to be a lot of truly insane people on Twitter. It's not a healthy website to visit

Wonder could communists develop a 'line' for sites like Twitter, fb, dnd, reedit etc I'm order to get the most out of them without wasting energy or giving to much info to NSA or doxxers?

It's a question that's been raised before, but nobody ever has concrete ideas. What specifically would you want to accomplish with smarter use of Twitter?



I use it for up to date news and also discussion, tho I think that's because of quality of people who I can follow as opposed to the hard to navigate platform itself.

I suppose continue to do that with less energy wasted that could be spent better else where while propagandising to others and encouraging them to come to sites like this for proper discussion?

Like maybe work out some rules of engagement for groups like libs or anarchists (or service workers immigrants or single parents) for the wide holes in their conception of the world that we know they can never fill... and entice them from skewed platforms to ones where they can gain a useful understanding of the world and how to change it

because there is so little known about some of those right communist folks it almost does make them look fierce and independent protectors of an old guard communism vs the careerish types. but I have my doubts. they certainly don't provide a lot of positive material other than "look over there! it's a tract from a murdered Sandinista from 1981. Look! here's a polemical pseudo-academic piece on Gates. and Molly crabapple blah blah " which while very enlightening for me doesn't seem to address immediate issues

the destruction of twitter.


This is the correct line on twitter. While it exists we can be thankful for god-tier twitters like henry and dispo who have miraculously found ways to put it to good use (roof manifesto outing). But it is otherwise a yawning chasm of despair and must be destroyed

I love when I upvote a post and in the time since I clicked the upvote button somebody else already upvoted so it's like I gave two upvotes. fuck twitter.

Twitters a great website for cool bohemians and dedicated content creators which unfortunately has been co opted by politicals, celebs, journalists, and sport haters.

on a side note some people on twitter really think dispo is an op of sorts and the roof outing was part of a "lone gunman" frame-up to hide the larger conspiracy of nazis and the kickstarter is part of some CIA thing too.

w/e.

to be fair they seem fairly marginal. i guess you could consider them a splinter from "left"-conspiracist twitter. the types who seem as if they are intent on proving horseshoe theory correct.

at-large party members almost never form branches, regardless of the party (lack of resources and dividable labor causes huge burnout) so ive been recommending they form cells instead of branches, focused on flyer creation, fundraising, memes and such. i dont really have any direction to point the memers tho so they just make soft-commie stuff, like lettuce dog
