If he gets us to Mars, there will be statues of him around the world, when he passes.
Is what someone who has been brainwashed would say...

That's very bigoted of you not to respect someone else's opinion, just because it differs from your own.

Mars might be the best place for him actually...

Many of us are avoiding Twitter/X since we don't want to encourage alleged psychopath fascist Musk, good to get onto BlueSky.
I think the club should be on every social media platform, including Bluesky, and post consistently across them all. I agree with MK it would be a good step to provide captions for those hard of hearing.

I think many left activists hugely miscalculate the impact of their boycotts on Twitter/X - traffic to the website has nearly quadroupled over the last year and it isn't going anywhere.

I don't think we "left activists" are that bothered about any impact of a so called boycott...it's more a matter of just not wanting to be part of an idiot madman's plaything.

I don't think that cutting yourself off from almost 14,000 followers is a sound marketing idea, whatever the owner of that platform's current insanity levels.

It's by far the largest social media following the club has with Instagram on 8000 and Facebook on 1700.

It also gets the most interactions when compared to other platforms.

Agree with the above, as much as I dislike Musk, not using Twitter/X isn’t the way forwards. Despite the issues it faces I still use it as my main method of finding news out about the club. However, it would be a very good idea to be consistently active on all social media platforms as mentioned above.

Do you seriously believe because someone has a little common decency they are a left activist?

Bit dramatic. I wasn't trying to trigger anyone, it's just a statement of fact that some leftist activists boycott Twitter/X and encourage others to and I was just pointing out that the platform is doing quite well, contrary to some assumptions, and I think the club should remain on it (and join all other platforms too).

Personally I am not a big fan of Musk and if I were an American I would be uncomfortable with his influence on federal government as an unelected person with a seemingly huge conflict of interest, but, as has been mentioned before, if he gets humans to Mars history will remember him for that and not whether Guardian readers liked him or not. Many people who drive genuine human progress are weirdos and outcasts with high IQs who can't relate to average people and are fairly unpopular yet exceptional in particular fields. All a bit besides the point though.

I think it was you who was being a bit dramatic. Perhaps if you actually said the above in your original post it wouldn't have come across that way?
