> Countries are quick to comply with the new admin's demands. Are you so sure? In just a few days you come to that conclusion? What's certain is the damage that the US is self-inducing. The reaction from abroad, whatever form it may take, has not had the time to take shape yet. > Culturally you will still be writing on this platform in 5 years (because, put simply...) The more I read here, the more I realise how both part of the audience, and part of the hosting, is veeeeery skewed to some peculiar mindset I could not imagine in the past 10 years. Let's say that it is a good continuous learning experience. > no critical mass is leaving twitter/x (because...) [independant citation needed]. I found most of my active communities back on Bluesky and Mastodon, as they have gone almost extinct on X/Twitter. While I see a significant surge of bots (not hard to spot) both in comments, posts and follows. The mass may stay the same, to call it critical is a bit of a flex to me. > and technically you very likely will be using an american made co-pilot (...). I feel it's a bit early to say "likely". As it's a bit early to say that it may still be relevant to use it at all in a few years. > Could it be, juuuust maybe, that you're believing what the US's other political side wants you to believe? And that would be?

  Yes that’s its main issue. Still better than the hell site. 1/ it’s an open protocol, 2/ if anything it’s an excellent intermediary step towards something different, 3/ it feels like the caring Twitter from 2010 already, and that’s amazing a relief.

So are you saying, that your currently unverifiable thing in the future (has not had the time to take shape yet) has to stand against the actual happenings of Canada and Mexico agreeing to Trump's terms within a day? > Let's say that it is a good continuous learning experience I don't know what you try to say here. Rest assure my standpoint is the minority here. Like another commentator said "Every single IT board" will be filled with the same arguments as are expressed in this threat here (ie. that we're basically witnessing Kristallnacht 2.0).

  > From America to Zimbabwe, have fun trying to find a country where X is not in the top three tier Because obviously, the numbers of 25Q1 matter? or the trend where alternative platforms are exploding and migration initiatives are organising? We might be settle this not before coming December, but even then, will this matter. > has to stand against the actual happenings of Canada and Mexico agreeing to Trump's terms within a day? You might want to dive a bit more in depth into what actually happened there: did they agree, or did they present what they are already doing as something new? The PR win is still for Trump because he looks like a strong boy, but... Moreover, you know how governments really react. It takes weeks, if not months. > Like another commentator said "Every single IT board" will be filled with the same arguments as are expressed in this threat here (ie. that we're basically witnessing Kristallnacht 2.0). If you want to draw that sort of parallels, it ~looks more like January 1933, pre-Reichstag fire. But that's not really the parallel that makes things concerning. It's what's actually happening in 2025.
