      @zachleat Sticking around because of my job but I drew attention with what little platform I have. Good work putting this out there.

      @zachleat respect, but hard for me to see how this would work. encouraging engagement to threaten non-engagement just doesn’t feel effective.

         @jed fair, hard to tell how the big picture will turn out—but I felt like it was worth a shot

      @zachleat Oh, he's back. I had a twitter account for years, but I was mostly active in this last year or so, long after the ban.

      This was the push I needed to just stahp scrolling that place.

   @zachleat There's the Popular Twitter Vote, and then there's the Electoral Twitter College, which has exactly one delegate. :)

   @zachleat I’d recommend removing the asterisks. People mute words to avoid seeing things about him and the asterisk dodges that.

      @aluhrs I understand. That was an intentional tradeoff—I’m taking the Stephen Colbert approach and not using his name directly to remove some of its trending power

   @zachleat OR…and bear with me here… delete your account. #Musk is counting on #Trump to ensure engagement on the platform. The only way to truly send a message is for people - en masse - to vote with their digital feet, by GTFO #Twitter.

   And if clicking a deactivate button feels like too much of a personal sacrifice, then I guess we finally know why so few people did anything to stop Hitler.

    @zachleat Could you make a post explaining the #votewithyourtweet campaign against Trump on Twitter for sharing, that makes it easy for people to see point/call to action and join in? Thanks!

       @Suzyanalyst1 yeah maybe for the Monday crowd!
