Nazi platform.

Make sure to stop clicking on Nazi links when people post them. No matter how bad you want to see someone "prank" someone or cry about their perceived persecution.

We need to stop making a Nazi platform important enough that it hurts democratic politicians when they lose access because of the Nazi in charge of said platform.

and if you absolutely must see something on twitter, use xcancel instead.

its a frontend for the same content, that doesn't add views or ad revenue to twitter.

He was prisoned on corruption charges before, which were just government funds being moved

It’s frustrating that we knew he was full of shit when he was saying it. And now the evidence is showing it is bullshit. And it’s like it doesn’t even matter.

They know they can do that sort of shit because they hold the power. They can blatantly and unconvincingly lie, their followers will regurgitate those lies, but neither of them really believe them. They are just posturing and having fun with words, just like fascists always have done.

Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Just do like I do. I blocked x.com quite a while back now. Along with several other trash sites like it.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 9 points 1 day ago

I used to use it to find out information on local emergencies and stuff but now you have to log in and they don’t allow search or whatever so I never use it… I have a few accounts there but haven’t used them since at least x if not before I should probably mass delete my accounts there next time something happens

Anyone still on Xitter is part of the problem.

Delete it.

[–] nadram@lemmy.world 90 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No one on X should expect anything better

Has Musk ever met a dictator he doesn't like?

Seems like a good opportunity to frame Musk and Erdogan as allies.

The speech free platform continues to remove speech.
