If you are implying that the ignorant or unwilling should be forced participants in a protest, I would strongly disagree with that statement. I also am seeing a lot of rhetoric that not participating or simply not agreeing with a ban implies you are either a supporter of musk or Nazism... This sort of line in the sand statements are counterproductive, inflammatory, divisive and frankly ignorant.
There is no risk on reddit with such a protest considering the political lean. I don't use twitter because I personally I hate the way conversations and 'information' is structured as well as the content. I don't also don't have an issue with subs/admins or even the whole platform banning twitter. What I do have are serious concerns about the mechanisms behind the ban and the further echo chambering of the site. To me, it's better to have non quality info/sources available and downvote it than to just ban it.
