It would be better if he posted on Mastodon
Better how?
In every way? No downside to at least having a presence in the fediverse IMO
It doesn’t have the audience.
People who are trying to spread a message might possibly consider that relevant but you know, geek out in the corner with the rest of the “I hate this fact” downvoters 😅
The way it gets an audience is through adoption by some “larger” people, like but not limited to snowden.
Those people start mirroring their twitter on masto, and eventually start mirroring masto on the twitter, then the next time there’s a musk fit they have a place to go ready and can post “due to the actions of this site’s owner, this profile will cease posting. If you wish to continue following me I’ll still be posting on masto.”
People don’t switch now because Ryan Reynolds isn’t on masto yet and what he says is paramount to their survival, once he switches they safely can. (Disclaimer: the use of Ryan Reynolds is purely sardonic, could have used Taylor Swift or whatever hot star of the day you choose.)
He should do both. The message getting to as many people as possible is more important that he posting on Twitter.

Lol ratm plays 10000 people concerts that cost $150+ to buy tickets for while the fans are bombarded with corporate advertisements for the entire time
Fuck them

Sorry I’m just replying to the bait you put in the first sentence of your comment.
Have fun hanging out with 90s finance bros in the pit while they complain about ratm being too political while sipping their 20 dollar beers
My point is their message definitely has less.meaning when its wrapped in Pepsi and hand sanitizer ads the only people who can afford to pay for it are apathetic die hard fans who are conditioned to ignore the hypocracy and rich assholes who want a night out to say they saw this band before they died.
I was invited to this by one of those die hard fans who bought an extra ticket. The entire experience was absolutely disgusting.

No, I’m replying to your reference to an irrelevant band who sold their image warner bros and perpetuates all of this through continuing to tour under these conditions.

It doesn’t help that their best song is a cover
Well said! +1
People say RATM went soft? I know this isn’t the point of your reply but why do people say that?

Reagan Youth?
Probably the people who paid attention to jackholes like Tom Morello walk around shitting on local businesses because “don’t you know who I am.”
https://concreteplayground.com/auckland/arts-entertainment/culture/rage-against-the-machine-guitarist-pulls-a-dont-you-know-who-i-am-on-cafe
Tom and folks like him are way more concerned with the trappings of being famous than they are with actual workers gaining actual rights as evidenced by shitting on a local business because the business was already at capacity and didn’t make room for his “fame.”
He didn’t even do any research on the business before labelling them anti-worker when what they really were were anti-special-treatment-for-famous-people.
You would think Tom Morello of RATM would be on board.
So yeah, soft.
According to that article, he and the owner of the business patched things up and reached a positive resolution. Continuing to be mad about it 10 years later, particularly when no one involved actually cares, is the most terminally online behaviour. Switch off the phone, go outside and breathe some fresh air.
I’ve never heard soft but I’ve heard hypocritical. Tom morello comes from a wealthy background and went to Harvard, the band censored themselves on tv when asked to do so, they live in gated communities and run elbows with the people who run the machine they are raging against, and they came out and supported Hillary Clinton (who is the definition of the machine). Myself and others aren’t saying they should’ve supported trump (who is also apart of the machine), but they should have called for more grassroots political candidates and supported them.
With all due respect, what reality do you exist in?
Dude gave up his entire life to send a warning to as many people as possible. You think he’s gonna not post further warnings on Twitter?
I think he’s fully under the control of the Russian government posting on a platform that is owned by a Russian asset.
this cold war propaganda belongs in a museum
He is. He is just another propaganda tool in putins pocket.

Exactly I find it funny too, why doesn’t he at least mirror his posts to Mastodon or just post on there, it’s just a copy/paste…or is it difficult on Qubes ?
On the other hand, normies are still on Twitter so… I don’t blame him
Twitter had a TOR service last time I checked, I haven’t seen a single Mastodon instance available as TOR service.
TIL Mastodon can be run as tor service : https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/tor/
Exactly… “had”
Check again, it’s broken now…
Kolektiva dot social is Mastodon server for activists, and they have a Onion version, and they never track you like Twitter does…
there is more into the anonymity game than just using TOR, other networks has their own approaches, and TOR is not perfect
Edit: but that’s another subject…
the nazi site?
