There's presumably engagement on those two. It's better to have a smaller core of highly engaged people than a mass of disengaged eyeballs glazing over.

Does it have to be either/or?

  Volunteer your time to do a dual strategy with content that fits both. Comms takes time, the EFF is adapting its comm strategy.

    Pushing messages out to multiple platforms is a solved problem.

    Surely copy-pasting a short text and possibly a link is not actual work that takes time. All they would need to do is set up some cross-posting pipeline and the work would be pretty much zero. They could even drive people to click on mastodon/bsky links this way if they wanted people to go to the decentralized web. This take is not valid.

Retreating into smaller and smaller echo chambers where they get their way?

  They're also still posting on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube (in addition to BlueSky and Mastodon). It's silly to suggest that anything outside of X is an echo chamber, or that one must communicate on a platform dominated by white supremacists to expose your ideas to a diverse audience.

"...and we win by putting our time, skills, and members’ support where they will have the most impact. Right now, that means Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube" So pretty much all major sites except X. They are saying LinkedIn is more important to reach people than X, really?
