    I’m leaving Reddit. Tried to stay, but the atmosphere has just become too toxic. Follow me on Sh.itjust.works, if you like.

      This thread is kind of wild. Do all of y’all understand that it’s more the blatant endorsement and promotion of literal Nazis that is driving people off Twitter? It ain’t the corporatization. We might not like that but to pretend like it’s the same thing is fucking insane.

        We must have different experiences with facebook, because I see nazi rhetoric just as often there. It may not be as blatantly supported, but they certainly do nothing to keep it off of the platform.

            Facebook spread disinformation from a junta that caused a genocide and the Zuck did nothing to stop that disinformation stream. He’s almost as bad as a Nazi.

            They aren’t saying with their mouths, but they seem to be fine with it padding their wallets.

          Right? People seems to forgot there’s mass exodus off facebook due to this exact issue and they still have this issue as of now, and also the protest against federating with Thread not too long ago.

          Zuckerberg zucks Trump’s choad as much as Elon behind the scenes. It’s kinda worse in a way.

    Not to say people shouldn’t leave Twitter, but like…this isn’t going to devastate him. He’s in the inner circle. Twitter could burn down and I doubt he would even notice.

        while he’s well and truly in the black, what he paid for was banning the Elonjet account. Everything else was an after thought.

          Pretty sure he paid to dismantle the public square, an organizing space for the left, a voice for millions, and all that sweet sweet information that will soon be used to hunt the enemy within.

            Ding Ding Ding.

            I lost count of the amount of times I got downvoted to oblivion for saying “He isnt an idiot manchild, he is up to something. Yall are assuming he is playing checkers badly, he is playing chess and whupping your ass”

            You dont get to be the richest man in the world by being an absolute fucking idiot.

              100%, and funded partially by Saudis whi dismembered journalist Khashoggi over the Panama Papers. This was an attack on the public and it continues. It started the fog of war

    The “sudden” realisation of corporations and publications and celebrities that now xitter is bad, but a month ago it was fine, is one of the thinner veils I’ve seen for a while, and there are a lot of thin veils going around.

    The truth is, they only care once their income (or other personal interest) is potentially threatened, not a millisecond sooner, and definitely not about the bigotry that’s always been on there, but which has been completely undeniable for a good couple of years now, and which they were happy to turn a blind eye to this long.

    If you think these people are allies, you’re giving them waaaaaaay too much credit.

    “I tried hanging out with the Nazis, but they’re just too toxic”

    Honestly… 🙄🙄🙄
