I see many socialists on X and Instagram that are not on Mastodon, why is that? Is there a socialist argument as to why these organizations are still there, and should we join them?

My org has our website, flyers on a weekly basis and does stalls at bigger events AND posts about it on mainstream social media. I don’t see a problem with it
And when the fascists are in power they will have every member on those social medias sites details, well done!
Why are we giving traffic and org details to the enemy again, do you understand who owns these websites?
i dont really understand how you propose promoting an org or doing mass communications. by that logic no org member should own a phone because it could be traced, or because its produced by capitalist businesses.
1 - going outside and distributing propaganda to the public
2 - engage with your local community through activism
3 - setup your own orgs website and direct people too it
you cant use the masters tools to break the masters home comrade, mainstream social media is designed to filter people like us out and at worst suppress/hunt down people like us; take lessons from the red scare or how twitter and facebook work to suppress the working class and inform fascist regimes all over the world, if you invest into the tools of the upper class you’re just honey potting yourself.
not what im saying at all, you can create your own risk profile suited to what you’re doing; as an induvidual you’re still driving engagement with social media but its not the biggest deal ever
if you’re out protesting and bring your phone though? terrible OPSEC, it can be used to geolocate and prosecute you.
for a massive orgs comms?
undermines the anti-capitalist messaging a little bit when its on the front page of one of the richest people on the planet dont you think?
this is essentially the “if you dont like capitalism why do you exist in it” argument. i dont see the point in being a purist when it comes to communications, it would just be impossible to build a movement and grow. sure there are risks associated with it, but they are fairly low in the west.
nope, its more like dont send all of your details to the people you are trying to dismantle lol, missing the point.
is it praxis now to give ad revenue to elon musk, the seig heiling guy? should we have been begging hitler for a spot in his newspapers? or should we have seized thoses presses and made our own newspaper?
