Supporting Musk just to view tweets (or whatever they are called) is a big moral compromise imho.
I get that if you are a news or social media source you need the views so it's work with him or lose money but that's not the case for many other people.
I left months ago and think it was the right decision for many reasons.
Probably that owner is a Billionaire online bully with a large following of acolytes ready to brigade anyone he feels like.
And that Twitter/X has now been login-walled so anyone that wants more than an embedded Tweet link has to make an account. Which means organisations like the BBC which use it are now implicitly supporting Musk.
I'm not sure you used Twitter much before he bought it, at that point was full of village mobs roaming and brigading anyone they felt like. To be honest that's actually calmed down since it's changed, they've probably all left to their very own echo-chamber mastodon instances.
I only ever see 'your side' constantly grind on about the politics of an artist, athlete, or business owner, in discussions completely unrelated to said politics, in an attempt to censor, cancel or otherwise leg-pull. To me, it's pretty clear who the bullies are.
Not really. Godwin's law points to inadequate comparisons to Hitler and the "classic Nazis", whereas your parent points out that he supports real, alive Nazis today.
It's a not a Nazi comparison, it's stating facts. Just two days ago he recommended voting for the German fascist party AfD, in the process regurgitating white supremacist conspiracy theories.
Yes, yes, anyone you disagree with and is more right wing than 20008 Obama is a Nazi. They said the same about Meloni in Italy but that has proved to be very much not the case.
