As a reminder, there _are_ good reasons for some people to remain active on X.
Maybe not for liberal white guys, but plenty of people from minority groups or from outside of Europe and North America stay there because that's where all their peers are, and almost no one of these groups are present in significant numbers on #Mastodon and the #Fediverse .
Thus, instead of condemning them for this, we should work harder to make the Fediverse a more welcoming and inclusive space for them.
