2. I left when the Nazis were allowed back on.

I try not to buy from any company that promotes that site.

It's all I can do.

Mastodon is so much better than Twitter ever was. People are nicer too.

3. It is government funded. What's the big deal?

It doesn’t mean it’s bad. As if corporate media is better…

4. The Conservatives said it spouting Government propaganda and that Musk should

put a government warning on. So Musk did. Now Musk is playing dumb. See the second photo below. Conservatives are promising to kill the English CBC if they get into power (killing radio canada, the french canadian sister network, would result in a trouncing for Conservative Poilievre in Quebec. Liberals would then beat the Bloc Quebecois in the next federal election and then win the country). Calling how how they are funded is just so Musk can have some fun and then gaslight. It is about targets and right wing narratives. Did Musk label Fox News tweets as 'Entertainment' because that is how they label themselves? The government has no say in the editorial content of the cbc. Maybe Twitter should list which news sources are owned by billionaires and of which persuasion.
