      If I ran an org, that needed to reach a community of say… 1000 people in need, and 900 of those people were ONLY on twitter, guess what?

      That org needs to be on twitter, even if President Musk is profiting from it. Otherwise, the org would be remiss in their mission.

          Not really a hypothetical though. Its the very reason I kept a non-profit’s account on twitter, and facebook, and instagram, for as long as I did - Because we HAD to in order to effectively hit the mission for the non profit.

              What would be the unlazy, creative, and effective strategy?

              BTW, remaining where our community members are is very effective at messaging to the community we need to communicate with…

                I wouldn’t argue with the dude; he’s got a clear case of bad-faith-itis. What you did was bad, so you shouldn’t have done it, but no I won’t tell you how to fix it.

                The absolute best you could have done is cross-posted to a Mastodon/Bluesky/whatever account as well, but you can’t just always go around yanking the rug out underneath communities especially if you’re in a position where it’s not just lazy shitposting and worthless commentary.

                …that said, you have moved anything you can to being posted somewhere in tandem riiiiiiight?

                Open another channel and tell everyone that the main channel is the new one. And tell them how to join the new channel, step by step.
