Good, for once people are deciding to limit outrage and not continue to distribute and share things that are false. If we did this with every piece of bullshit outrage bait or weird rumor or conspiracy theory we would reduce some of the worst movements and viral trends we all hate.

I found one that could be it but I don't want to bring attention to it if I'm wrong.

I thought X got rid of all of the sane policies that twitter had?

I mean isn't X officially a white supremacist platform now anyways?

Musky wanted to do that but Europe threatened to ban Twitter so now he just pretends that there are rules.

And EVERY single news organization in the US uses it both as their primary platform AND source for news.

Even fucking NPR. What the actual fuck is that about ?

90% of screenshots on Lemmy are from Twitter ffs. It boggles my mind, and I am not easily boggled.

I thought NPR left Twitter when Musk had them labeled as "state controlled media"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

They still.. to this day.. source Twitter in news articles. They still embed tweets.

The problem is consensus. No one can make consensus on abandoning the site happen.

Give me very little hope that the world can resist fascism if they can't stop using a website.
