That's explicitly not the logic EFF is using; they come close to outright rejecting it.

I don't know. That's front and center. Can to share how that's an "outright rejection"?

They explicitly say they're staying on other platforms whose ideologies they don't agree with.

Because there's enough people there to be worth it

It's like how the Soviets and the Americans were allies in world war II, the pros outweighed the cons

Was it costing a lot of money or resources to say on X? If they got few impressions what does it matter? You can write the content once.

Yes.

Because, it was costing a lot of money or resources to stay on X. Kind of an odd follow up to your previous question.

Pretty sure they know how to write content considering we are reading it.

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t fit with the founders intention.

“We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.”

Apparently X.com doesn’t fit in that world anymore.

Yes.... because..... "the amount of impressions are worth doing it for"

You can't just ignore complete sentences because it hurts your narrative.

"They explicitly say they're staying on other platforms whose ideologies they agree with."

Why would you say that? That's a lie?

Oh wait... it sucks when people just remove important parts of what you say. Don't lie. It's not good.
