If I’’d been in this for dollars I wouldn’t have broken with Musk over his deamplification of Substack. I was not willing to sell out other Substack writers, which includes you, right? Maybe I should have.

@DeskPopper69 @mtaibbi I have been attacked extensively by left and right and I still didn’t sell out all my principles for dollars, thanks.

The statement is part of a conversation thread discussing the impact of deamplification on Twitter and its financial consequences for a public figure. The tone is one of frustration and defense of personal and professional choices in the face of criticism. The content addresses the issue of social media influence on public discourse and the integrity of individuals within that space.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not appear to intend harm, but the frustration expressed could be perceived as negative.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects privacy and does not engage in harassment or hate speech. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not actively promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, focusing instead on personal impact. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in a defensive manner rather than constructive criticism or dialogue. [-1]
  5. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement indirectly touches upon using influence for betterment by defending the speaker's choices in the context of maintaining integrity.
