Or people who think “yeah it is, but this is clearly an innocuous post, and it being reposted here actually has very little to do with the political leanings of the other platform’s owner, so this comment feels out of place.

The use of a platform is how they get money. The usage contributes to stats, clicks, throughput they then show those numbers to advertisers - to get money. So the content doesn’t matter. The use does.
You post to Twitter, you help Musk. Simple as that unfortunately. That’s part of why Capitalism is insidious, you’re constantly aiding a ruling class who do not share your class interests. The least we can do is boycott the worst of them.
But the post is on lemmy, the OP likely isn’t the twitter OP, the one who needs to receive the message is not here to see it. Boycott away, but if the goal is to stop twitter posts you have to tell twitter users, lemmy users are more likely already not using twitter.
