    All these news about X going to shit feels like that gif of the truck driving towards the pole but constantly cutting before the impact

    Musk has continued to place his personal proclivity for right-wing content and influencers over brand – and really overall user – safety. For example, last month, Musk personally intervened to restore a right-wing influencer’s account after they were suspended for posting photos of child exploitation.

    Tells you everything you need to know.

    I got curious about just how bad said Nazi content is, and managed to find an article with some screenshots: https://nypost.com/2023/08/17/x-suspends-pro-hitler-account-after-brands-paused-ads/

    Spoiler: very Nazi.

    So it’s not just Nazi-compatible ideas. It’s straight out Nazi symbolism.

    I really don’t get these people - even if you believe the Nazis were right, you know they are the most hated historical faction in the world. Wouldn’t it be better to advocate their ideas without explicitly associating yourself with them, just to avoid the (completely justified) knee-jerk reaction?

      You’re suggesting that Nazi’s use their famous critical thinking skills to understand that 99% of the world hates them and their ideology?

      They want the negative reaction. They thrive on being hated. Similar with some of the worst Internet trolls. The hatred validates them.

    Just love how we all refer to it as “the company formerly known as Twitter”

    Lunatics always show up in my For You feed on Twitter. I always tag the company with a screenshot of the offending content with the advertisement. Lately it’s been weird advertisements. Shitty gambling apps, religious and personal accounts promoting their personal brand. So they likely don’t care.

    Also I’ll never call Twitter anything but Twitter.

      I don’t know, I think there’s room for appropriate change here;

      • Twater
      • Twit’er
      • Twixlers

      I admit, my suggestions could use more help, but surely we must admit they’ve devolved from Twitter!?

    Can’t see any company, let alone something family friendly being remotely okay with any of this. Who wants to pay to be right next to Nazi content besides maybe MyPillow?

    That’s what happens when you hang out at a Nazi bar…

      Couldn’t block them in real life in the 30s and 40s, so he’s just being true to history.

    If you’re advertising on Twitter in 2023 and your target audience isn’t Nazis, what are you doing? 😅
