The first word they did this with was cis. This will keep happening and the attacks will get worse until people act. Leave Twitter

The only good nazi is a dead nazi

Or maybe a grammar nazi... But I'm not sure they count

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Nah, they are necessary evil. (grammar ones)

Why do they call everything an "app"?

The app is just the interface, the interface did nothing wrong, the entire platform is cooked.

Tech illiteracy

How does this work? It's filtered but still visible?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I think its hidden with a message that it contains something sensitive and you actively have to click on show to show it. Not sure though as I’m not on Xitter anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 52 minutes ago

Ah that would make sense

[–] [email protected] 60 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Keep using it! That'll fix it! It's like when a company gives you shitty service you keep giving them your business and eventually they'll give you good service!

That's how it works, right?

Sometimes you don't even realize you're on it. I watched a clip on a news article. I was mildly surprised that the X branding only showed up after I started watching the clip. That clip was fine, it wasn't even really political. Then it auto played Alex Jones talking about Democrats being traitors and trying to destroy the country.

So when the fuck did they start removing branding on embedded stuff? And then when the fuck did they start trying to auto play videos? And videos from a completely different account and subject matter?

If they're that shady just visiting the website I don't even want to think about what their apps are doing.

Not sure how you got away with that… Every single time I have been forced to use Twitter for a video, it has been an awful experience. Their video player is one of the worst modern video players I’ve ever had the displeasure of using. Plus they gate everything behind a login nowadays, so even embedded players in news articles won’t work unless you sign in first. Twitter is rapidly becoming Pinterest for fascists; It grabs content, then walls it behind a login page.

He's in the upper echelons of government now. No need to pretend anymore

Meta is even worse.

Even people who were/are on the right are noticing it.

Tom Segura isn't a great guy, but I saw a clip of one of his podcasts where they were talking about Instagram. Any post anyway related to a Black person is just gonna be filled with comments saying the n word.

As fucked up as it is, TikTok appears to be the only big one that's removed hate speech for a while now. It's just become incredibly normalized which is why the wealthy keep gobbling up social media.

They want a race war, a culture war, anything to stop 99% of the population from figuring out the 1% have been fighting a class war for decades.

It's all a distraction to stop people from talking about why billionaires are fucking over everyone else and we're not stopping it.

Can you elaborate on 'Tom Segura isn't a great guy'? I think he's funny and I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

Tom Segura

Went on a tirade talking about "the poors" after he got told to check in his carry-on on a flight

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah it's a platform for racists and friends of racists (also racists).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

But don't be racist towards them tho!

[–] [email protected] 73 points 9 hours ago (7 children)

Yet you continue to use it…

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

This is what I don't get, people not migrating from a shit platform. Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, etc.

They all just reach this critical mass where people decide the benefit of everyone else using it outweighs all the negatives of the platform being abusive to its own users

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

FOMO is incredibly powerful unfortunately.

The important stuff will be reposted on another platform. It's the whole point of [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

The important stuff to you might not be the important stuff to someone else. And not everything gets reposted.

I'm not saying that's a good reason to stay on Twitter, but I am saying it's a big reason people stay.

As soon as Musk bought it I reactivated my long-dormant account so that I could delete it properly, I can't understand why so many people are using X.

You're all patrons of the nazi bar, only in this case the nazis bought the bar. Twitter is dead. Migrate to somewhere else like you probably have multiple times before if you've been on the Internet for any amount of time.
