@decryption @Urist_McRabbit I think it's just a matter of cultural inertia. There's a lot of people in bubbles that've avoided learning or caring about all the terrible shit. Donnar reasonably want to be able to stay connected to that part of their audience.
I also disagree with them diversifying onto a different billionaire's walled garden, but hey: Baby steps.
Here's their response. No commitment, but they're considering it. A little bit mealy-mouthed, but not as bad as it could be, I guess.
@tj @Urist_McRabbit at least they acknowledge it - i wonder what's holding them back? is there that much juice for their comedy on X that not using it would cause them distress??

@tj @Urist_McRabbit chicken and egg problem
@tj i like their work too and also wish they'd stop using X - hope they realise whatever they get out of it as a platform isn't worth the moral culpability of using it
