Since X and Threads have become corporate cesspits of propaganda, harassment, and fascism, we have decided to move our news commentary to Bluesky. You will note that we new have social media icon links in the upper right corner of the site to Mastodon (where we autopost new articles) and to Bluesky.
We abandoned X/Twitter last year, sacrificing our audience of over 3K followers, but we’ve left Threads just recently. After Zuck abandoned community standards and turned over the keys to a self-appointed mob of fascist censors, we were harassed with constant spurious complaints that we were violating technical community guidelines, such as trying to get people to do business and follow commercial links out of the FB community. This resulted in many of our posts being taken down and our service being suspended repeatedly. We were obviously being targeted based on our viewpoints by fascist vigilante censors.
We still run a feed of our newest posts to Threads and Facebook, but we will no longer comment on the news there. And we are totally gone from X: Musk started charging millions for an API license so most automatic posting to X has stopped across the entire internet.
So please start a Bluesky account if you haven’t yet and follow BlogForArizona there. Bluesky is the fastest-growing social messaging app, and has a decentralized protocol structure (much like email) that protects it from domination and central control, which has been the key tool for the enshitification of other social networks.
