As soon as Musk bought it I reactivated my long-dormant account so that I could delete it properly, I can't understand why so many people are using X.
You're all patrons of the nazi bar, only in this case the nazis bought the bar. Twitter is dead. Migrate to somewhere else like you probably have multiple times before if you've been on the Internet for any amount of time.
I offered to help anyone on Facebook migrate with me to mastodon who wanted to. These are people I've known across three towns and five different jobs. I've gotten and given leads and references for jobs from and to so many of them, and hope to in the future. That's the only reason I even still have Facebook. I'm about to completely call it quits and wipe everything off the account and just leave a pinned post on my profile with a link to a mastodon profile with my real name.
I put out the first version of that post while I'm getting my data fully packed up. Not a single response. Not even a like. I mentioned it on a post by an LGBT content creator I've kept up with since I worked with her ages ago. She's been building up a portfolio of reviews of everything from beauty products to sex toys and has actually gotten some pretty interesting brand deals lately. She'd never even heard of mastodon.
These big social media sites are so ingrained in people's lives in so many different ways. Ultimately you're right but every time I see a comment like this it gives...
Anti-black? Is that a substitute for “racist” to avoid censorship?
To be fair, it’s far more precise, being a subset of racism, especially given the context of some racist slurs being filtered while others aren’t, depending on the targeted race.
In today’s fucked up world, it wouldn’t surprise me if anti-white and anti-black slurs were filtered but anti-hispanic and anti-asian slurs weren’t, for instance, maybe to drive nationalism regardless of race. I appreciate the additional clarity.
I think there’s more straight up anti-black people than full on racist. The world hates us 😂
She’s a straight up Nazi 
... isn't that the wrong arm?
I have a feeling she takes black cock on the down low and doesn’t tell anyone
Yeah but she's doing them a favor /s
Next stop, a seat in Congress
No shit, I got that from the hard R.
She could also just have been extremely racist.
Let's keep the distinction. So we can turn the racists against the fascists.

People, please stop using twitter. Stop giving your attention and money to terrible people. Some people, like that white lady, are weak-minded and they will never learn.
This — why are people even still there? Get off it, full stop.
We're all here commenting on it. It's part of the outrage feedback loop.
Different people have different levels of tolerance to fecal matter. Some absolutely love the shit.
It's simply amazing though how many people don't want to admit it. I mean they're not hiding it at all but there's so many places even here on Lemmy that love to stick their head in the sand and don't want to acknowledge how bad it's gotten.
I treat people who have twitter accounts the same as I would someone who chain smokes in public areas: you're part of the mesh that prevents the substrate for nice things to exist.
Hopefully it's as much of collective social stigma as smoking is soon.
Unclear analogy - is the substrate going through the mesh the process of nice things existing? Maybe I'm thinking of substrate in a chemical sense rather than biological, or I'm just cooked. Is the mesh some sort of filter that allows bacteria to grow on the substrate (host)?
I take it as they’re saying, “you’re part of a framework that prevents the foundation of good things from being.”
Wish people would just stop using Twitter.
Shit like this makes me wonder what it would actually take to convince people to stop
IDK How to tell you this, but fascist racists own everything and are planning to kill a whole bunch of people soon. I really think people are under estimating the severity of the vision these people have for the world.

A guy from South Africa made his app anti-black? Shocking.
The white guy who is only rich because of black oppression in South Africa, in fact.
