The Four Color Media Monitor

Busiek recently wrote some tweets suggesting that:

Adding to this: I am now on Hive, as kurtbusiek. I won't be able to explore it much until I meet some deadlines, but after that, this guy's the limit.

I am also on Mastodon, but haven't posted there in years. https://t.co/LrIPwOuaCG

In that case, I'm still on Tumblr, Facebook and Hive. And technically Mastodon.

And even more technically Instagram, I think, because I've never posted there. https://t.co/M7nIsr01vS

I'm vaguely familiar with Mastodon, simply because actor Wil Wheaton, who's not considered the most talented Star Trek cast member in retrospect, once frequented the site, and may have later been driven off, because some of his fellow leftists didn't think he was PC enough for their tastes. Busiek also said:

It’s less “free speech” Elon wants and more “free money.” https://t.co/LQma2tTyJA

So here, Busiek's attacking Musk as just greedy, rather than as somebody who wants to promote a free speech values platform. What baloney. Busiek's no better than the European Union.

The query to be asked here is, does this hint Busiek's planning to jump ship from Twitter to other social media websites? Well for now, it's a real shame he doesn't have what it takes to admire a guy for wanting to invest in a company like this. I do wonder, if the late millionaire Sheldon Adelson were still alive and bought it, how would Busiek react then?

Besides Busiek, even Ron Marz gave suggestions he doesn't want to use Twitter anymore:

I guess I'm on Instagram: https://t.co/cnNM2qZ6Es

Hope this place doesn't go up in flames. I appreciate all of you.

I wonder if Elon Musk knows that #GlassOnion is essentially two hours of Rian Johnson making fun on him? (I was very entertained.) pic.twitter.com/yykZ6FUQ1O

And he's apparently attacking Musk as well, and supports a movie with potentially woke elements on Netflix, and regrettable paralells to Musk, in it. And, one has to wonder, will Marz also abandon Twitter as a social media platform? Well that's too bad as well, that he only respects certain websites so long as they're owned by liberal sources.

Neither men seem particularly grateful to Musk that he's making an effort to combat child sexual abuse on Twitter either. If they stop using Twitter, one can only wonder, what will they prefer using besides the aforementioned sites like Mastadon and Hive? Maybe they should just turn to updating their own websites and blogs, which would be a far better idea. Social media isn't the place leftists like them need.
