Yes it was, it was a direct reply to

The use of a platform is how they get money. The usage contributes to stats, clicks, throughput they then show those numbers to advertisers - to get money. So the content doesn’t matter. The use does.

You post to Twitter, you help Musk. Simple as that unfortunately. That’s part of why Capitalism is insidious, you’re constantly aiding a ruling class who do not share your class interests. The least we can do is boycott the worst of them.

This isn’t a twitter post, it’s a lemmy post of a picture of a twitter post. This post doesn’t help musk monetarily at all. The post is also likely a repost, if you wish to affect musk’s bottom line, you don’t need to “inform” the people on lemmy that the people who post on twitter should not be posting on twitter, as they are posting on lemmy, thus not at least currently engaging in the behavior you find objectionable. Go tell twitter people if you must evangelize, you can probably also find them on Reddit, Facebook, and Insta if you don’t want to go to Twitter to tell them there. However, we’re on lemmy. The people here use Masto, Pleroma, Misskey, or Bluesky, largely not twitter, the shit that got most of you off reddit to here also got you off twitter and onto Masto, before the reddit exodus if memory serves me. Trying to “educate” the folks here about the fact that “twitter is a nazi” or whatever is essentially screaming into the void, or rather circlejerking, and IMO the circlejerk isn’t relevant to a post about octopi simply because it’s a screenshot of twitter.
