@BR24 Das Problem mit #FactChecks und "#CounterSpeech" ist dass es per Konzept die absurdesten Dinge als "#debattierbar" markiert.

  • Wohingegen die korrekte Antwort auf den meisten Bullshit ein "#Nein!" samt nonverbalen Rauswurf ist.

Sei es #Menschenrechte (#KeinMenschIstIllegal! #TransRightsAreHumanRights, …), #Bürgerrechte* ("#Chatkontrolle" aka. Abschaffung des #Fermeldegeheimnis, …) oder Elementare Dinge (Die Erde ist ein Rotationselliposoid und nicht flach! Das Leugnen historischer Tatsachen macht jene nicht ungeschehen!)…

Es ist eine Sache ob wir als Zielruppe die Zuschauer von "#Löwenzahn", "#SendungMitDerMaus" oder ausschließlich erwachsene Menschen haben von denen wir altersbedingt erwarten dass diese sich selbstständig versorgen können und denen wir aktives wie passives Wahlrecht einräumen…

@RickiTarr The problem with #Disinformation is that that #Counterspeech or #Corrections are pointless.

  • People choose to believe in these not in spite but because they are flagged as #disinfo and because they are #lies.

Arguing against these things makes them "#debateable" and that is the big mistake...

The fallacy that #christofacists and other #reactionary #bigots could be "converted" or "convinced" of being wrong assumes they don't know better and that they are indeed interested in the truth - neither of which is the case.

Same with #TERFs and #Neonazis:

  • One doesn't debate the rights of #marginalized people, but forces those bigots to flee into hiding by all means necessary!!!

#MakeFacistsAfraidAgain includes making #MAGA|ts and the #OrangeTyrant flee to #Russia or face Jailtime for #HighTreason and #Insurrection!

@dalfen yeah...

We're ruled by #TechIlliterates that got voted by #TechIlliterate Voters that all think @torproject's #Tor network is illegal and that there are no legitimate applications to use #TorBrowser for...

OFC they don't care about the fact that these things are obviously not true and they'll go out of their way to neither listen to accept any #Counterspeech or true #info that doesn't reinforce their bs bias.

Seriously, it's sickening and tiring me hard...

@ardenthistorian
Und das wird ganz genau so weitergehen! Fake News, toxische Narrative, Hetze, Hass und Diffamierung...das sind alles zutiefst rechte Markenkerne, alles nicht neu ! Aber wenn wir für Klimaschutz und soziale Gerechtigkeit auf die Straße gehen, machen wir das auch gegen Demokratiefeinde. Komm‘ ins Team der Klimaaktivisti!

Since many are wondering what is happening with #Twitter, it is a mix of things.

Probably now is the time to treat it as a #hostile information landscape, where social/private #information is a vulnerability and should not be posted there any more.

In general, use twitter mostly for #counterspeech, #disengage as much as possible without ceding information space ground, and be careful not to get dogpiled/doxxed and take measures to #protect against it.
