They're turning twitter into 8chan. Mass killers are going to be posting their manifestos there to inspire others. It's a pretty bleak picture.

It was a right-wing ghetto before January 6th too. But at least they sorta half-assed attempts at moderation, sometimes.

Guys, guys, guys! Relax! This is just Elmo tweaking the algorithm to broaden people's perspectives and get them to consider both sides!

You know, people who want good schools, good jobs, reasonably priced healthcare, and an effective social welfare system on one side and people who want to exploit and kill everyone who doesn't have the same skin color and sky wizard on the other side.

Anyone who uses twitter right now is just an apartheid loving racist sack of shiat who is too lazy and stupid to understand that there are alternatives to posting pictures of their cats.

Twitter repeatedly showed itself to be giving preferential treatment to right wing accounts that shiat all over the TOS, long before Musk took over. There's a reason it took a violent farking insurrection to get Trump banned, despite him shiatting all over the TOS damn near every time he posted his drivel. Meanwhile, left-leaning accounts were routinely banned for nothing more than mass-reports by right-wingers and bots.

But you don't care. Any consequences for right-wingers are 'biased' in your eyes, and you believe that fascists are entitled to have their opinions plastered everywhere, because you are in denial about how unpopular right-wing politics actually are.

Same for me too. Never even gave Twitter a thought actually as I was using Facebook. Quit that cesspool 3 years and never looked back. Better ways to use one's time.

Isn't twitter supposed to be increasing message size to 4,000?

Is 4k a significant number, because I can totally see the crazies tweeting out encrypted horse shiat and that increase makes it easy for the noise makers.

Just saw someone get banned for posting a picture of them kissing their partner (fully clothed) in response to someone lying and claiming trans people never date other trans people.

The right imagines they are being suppressed so they can justify actually suppressing others.

Just admit you miss the halcyon days of Rhodesia and everything it represents and we can at least have a discussion on why you're a dipshiat who thinks undermining government institutions is only a net gain. But not until you admit apartheid is the end goal.

Ali has claimed to be a time traveler more than once, Ring Wing Watch has all the receipts.

How this delusional loony/grifter gathered any influence with anybody sane is a mystery. FTA, Jack Dorsey listened to this semi-articulate idiot (to use Chappelle's term)? WTH, Dorsey?

In this video, he says "Jesus was just a carpenter, but I have a machine gun" along with his time traveling BS and other madness. Maybe it's all performative madness, but that's even worse.
