    not to be rude but you called your mind a “conspiracy board” and quite a number of conspiracies are indeed delusions

    or perhaps they didn’t think anything and kept using the same site they have been for years, and are simply avoiding the constant drama. Or maybe they’re trying to fight back? Maybe they’re actively working against twitter becoming an echo chamber for the alt right? Try connecting more things in your mind than presumptions that make you hate others

      Apathy in the face of fascism is how Germany fell. There were many millions who thought nothing as their entire world slowly became fascist. That saying about frogs and pots isn’t true. The frog jumps out of the pot when it starts getting too hot. Only humans become accustomed to an environment that is antithetical to life.

        Hey man, keep fighting the good fight. But know that you are among friends here. You are unlikely to find any Musk fans in this thread. And posts that smell of fascism will be downvoted if mild, and flat out deleted if strong.

        And I think a lot of people here would also agree with you that continuing to use X is tacit support of some bad people and ideals. It’s just a matter of how hard-line you want to go with your guilt-by-association. Posting a screenshot of something that was posted on X is several steps removed from the source. It doesn’t link to the site, or give engagement to the site. So although your chain of reasoning to being against such posts is valid, I think perhaps attacking people for posting such screenshots risks a bit of ‘friendly fire’. I reckon your anti-fascist efforts are better spent elsewhere, where the actions are a bit more clear cut.

          I didn’t attack OP. I just said the mods shouldn’t allow this kind of post. I have no ill will towards OP.

        now reply to the other half of my comment where i mentioned people actively fighting against twitter becoming an alt right echo chamber. Because as you might be aware - echo chambers make a bad situation worse as the members spiral deeper into extremism

        though maybe don’t bother, to be perfectly honest i find you deeply annoying and would rather have a decent day than continue this chat
