They still post, they just don’t buy ad space. The actual news is: More and more advertisers jump ship (IBM did, too), because they don’t want to get in trouble financing unhinged extremist bullshit.
Notably, however, the EU Commission is on Mastodon. Would be great if a lot of the companies suspending their ads would also move over to Mastodon even if not fully.
They don’t want the possible negative backlash of being associated with unhinged extremist bullshit. If unhinged extremist bullshit was popular enough to be profitable then they’d be all aboard. Corporations do whatever is profitable.
I wished for the bare minimum of decency, and Elon the Nazi sympathizer failed to deliver. If I wanted a social network full of right-wing nutjobs, I would have just signed up with Truth or Gab. Maybe you’d be more comfortable there, though.

Fair enough, I still find it hard to see how it fits this comm, but it is a bit better in that context.
I’m sorry your day was ruined by being forced to read something that was not curated according to your wishes.
Is that not the literal point of copying reddits homework with the sub format?
Thanks, the apology means a lot, truly.
