But it keeps dragging perception to the right, slowly or quickly, continiously, and allowing right wing reframings of decisions to become normalized. Like how we (often) decry headlines that say things like 'trump's trick to avoiding funding' (illegal impoundments), it's hard not to be influenced.

It's just that the percentage of fascists has gotten large enough it's hard to avoid them. I still have an account, but I never use it anymore because I see way too many fascists when I do.

agreed but there's blatant antisemitism on the left here too. less of it, I'm sure, and it's more likely to be called out, but her original point still stands.

You wouldn’t know it by my mentions. “Bluesky can’t tell the difference between is and ought” believers winning again.

I mean mine is all socialists, shit posters, and sick Godzilla behind the scenes

It's unfortunately also the only platform left that you can use to publicly nag representatives of companies into giving you some fucking customer service But that's a whole separate issue that I don't know if we'll ever solve

It's not even speculation lol. theconversation.com/a-few-weeks-...

All you have to do a find a cool spot and set the current flowing in the right way. Then, the water’s the same as before! I don’t understand why people keep talking about it?? Plenty of cool frogs are still chilling in our pot.

“Normie” Twitter doesn’t have enough hitler particles to kill you instantly, but it’s constant radiation above a safe level.

Saying "Twitter still has normal people on it" is like those sneaky products that say "made WITH" not "made Of" 100 percent beef. Technically not wrong, but you're gonna be munching on some Newfoundland beaver meat

💯💯 People are so desperate to stay there, the justifications are so pathetic.

Regardless of how many normal people are on Twitter, Elon still makes money. Therefore, less normal people, less income for Elon.

A lot of people are still on Facebook too but I couldn't be after Zuck went mask off and Cambridge Analytica. Sometimes the utility and population of a platform isn't worth enriching deplorable ownership.

Sort of like saying lots of people still live near coal power plants. Just because they’re not dead doesn’t mean their lungs aren’t getting damaged

You can watch it happening, it's a real overton train wreck

the other thing about twitter is that it’s one of the few places left where you can post adult sexual content and art without it being targeted for takedowns by site admin. it would be great for those communities to have somewhere else to go.

Because 4chan doesn't have normal people on it while Twitter does?

I mean, I’m sure there are some awesome people there, but I’m not giving any of my money or words to Elon Musk
