The weirdest thing here to me is that people call twitter an app. Not a site/community/whatever.

Zoomers and later generations mostly interact with Internet services through apps.
And boomers and relatively old generations.
I have older folks don’t really get what a website is, and family kids that don’t either.
Theres a narrow demographic that (as a whole) experienced the “old” internet outside of siloes and apps.
It is an app. It is also those things.
Eh... Never thought about it, people use xitter more on phones now
It's no secret that Apartheid Leon is trying to make everything back to the way it was in South Africa when he was a kid.
I'm sure he already has a very nostalgic flag picked out when the name changes to The United States of X.
Bro really wants to steal Truth Social's userbase for more money. He found out that the left is a lot harder to scam.
Aka products of blue State education systems
Aka "brainwashed."
There's gotta be a way to own this word in a positive way; like yeah honestly uni did help me clean house on a lot of dirty habits and prejudices in my brain, what's the issue?
Why do people even get offended by cracker lmaooo. That's such a whack front.
Same with Alpha Snowflakes who get triggered by words like cis.
Which makes zero sense. Because cis is exactly what he claims to be. It's not pejorative to say someone is a heterosexual?
I have used it sarcastically on news@world and got it mod deleted.
I guess it’s white fragility masked as fairness/equity.

Reminds me of the excellent book and documentary "coded bias"
I really thought all this free speech nonsense was because they wanted to be free to be rude.
Really didn’t think it was that hypocritical that only some people can be rude…
Saying all speech is okay is something I can kind of respect, this isn’t it.
When someone says all speech should be free, there's usually a hidden subtext of "speech that I like"
It might be because “Lilly” it’s Twitter verified, not because of the context.
And look at how much more engagement it got. Not that it should show that either, it’s such a perverse incentive.
I don’t know which is worse TBH, and I wish Twitter was erased from all their devices.
