I used Twitter for all of a day, but you have to be real with it
It’s an ocean with a whole lot of toxic spills. The whole thing is polluted, but some of it is nearly clean while others are basically tar.
There’s too many people doing too many things on that platform to condemn them all… We need to get most of them somewhere safer, but that’s where they are right now
I mean, anybody using Twitter is ok with Elon Musk. You can give the excuse that people on social security have to use twitter, but otherwise there’s really nothing necessary and there’s no telling what is a bot or a bastard. Facebook and reddit were heading the same way before I dumped them for lemmy.
If that was true, why is there constant news about him getting butthurt from critical tweets and using his authority to suppress them?
There’s a lot of people still on Twitter for a simple reason that has nothing to do with Musk… Getting a population to relocate is hard. That’s where they were before the takeover, that’s where all types of public figures have to be to reach followers, and so that’s where people go to interact with them
It’s going to be a slow decline as alternatives slowly grow to critical mass, and eventually the dead platform will no longer be the place with the biggest reach to most intended audiences
Lol. I accept that the Nazis exist, and that they’ve taken over mainstream social media
I also don’t use mainstream social media and I strongly encourage others not to. And I also face reality. People value their dooms scrolling too much to listen, only one person in my life has made a change, everyone else shrugs and says that’s where their friends are
Any platform that allows Nazi speech is a Nazi platform, but not everyone on a Nazi platform is a Nazi. Social media grows and shrinks according to the network effect… Twitter will only completely die once another micro blogging platform becomes the default. We’ve seen it play out over and over
You have to accept reality as it is and meet people where they are. Applying your own morals to others does nothing but make you feel superior in your own little bubble
Everyone that tolerates nazis is indistinguishable from the mythical “good nazi” party members.
They feel like it’s okay to be nazis because it’s okay with people like you. “Aw shit, nazis. What can you do?” You say. They say, “finally a welcoming community.”
“Good people,” that accept nazis are the only reason nazis exist.
What are you on about? That is so incredibly far from anything I said
Being on Twitter doesn’t make you a Nazi. That’s a wild fucking take
Pick a leftist voice, or basically anyone who does public messaging. Look at their socials - Twitter is on there.
Why? Because the largest audience is still there! And yeah, the platform is controlled by a Nazi, and it boosts Nazis. It’s a cesspool. People should migrate, to mastodon preferably. But they haven’t, because it’s a process that takes time and work
But labeling everyone still on Twitter a Nazi, or even a Musk supporter, is just putting your fingers in your ears and declaring the Nazis have won already

Sounds like a lot of cope from somebody who has accepted nazis as part of their life. Sounds shitty to me, but you do you, boo boo

Lol am i playing the nazi card?
Jesus Christ…I’ll put in the time to make leftists better at messaging, but at best you’ll hop onto the bandwagon of someone who knows what’s going on
Well I hope you find someone wiser to follow while it matters. Otherwise, have fun sniffing your own farts or whatever
