I gave a talk about fascism at a conference and the first reply to the conference's post on X with a photo of me in front of my slides is a rando word-vomiting about how Hitler was working for the Zionists, in case you're wondering how that place is going.

@evacide Then I shall continue calling this place “Elon Musk’s Nazi bar”.

@evacide This also contains the disgusting notion of equating Zionists with the Jewish people. Xitter is a cesspool. At the very beginning it was a cool platform, gradually even under Dorcy it started going shitty, now under the ultrarich white-rabbit dude it has gone totally radical shit.

@evacide I found Twitter too toxic for my taste long before Elon Musk took it over:

“Always has been” meme
“Always has been” meme
“Always has been” meme

@evacide

X is where automated hatemongering by the fossil fuel industry gets its ground testing done in preparation for the midterms

The algorithmic misogyny, racism, & xenophobia is a feature not a bug

Please hang in there, your information is critical & valuable (Although I acknowledge it's necessary to take breaks from the auto-bigotry)

To imagine, we're frying the planet for this bilge

Racism, misogyny, lies: how did X become so full of hatred? And is it ethical to keep using it?

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter, I and many others have been looking for alternatives. Who wants to share a platform with the likes of Andrew Tate and Tommy Robinson?

@evacide X (ex Twitter) getting worse is only half the story. Now we have Trump and MTG in what looks like a rehash of the "cat fight" scene from Destry Rides Again. It ends when Jimmy Stewart, playing the marshal or sheriff, throws a bucket of water on them.

Dang humans can invent the weirdest contortions of "logic" so they can make up justifications for believing what they want to believe.
