Its just…
Its incomprehensible to me why you would have still been on twitter even moments after the hostile takeover.
BUT still being there years later? Deeply irresponsible.
It’s insane. Now? Now they see?
In an interview with Reuters, AFT President Randi Weingarten said that the site had already been degraded by extremists and trolls since Elon Musk’s 2022 takeover, before which the platform was known as Twitter. But the recent proliferation of nonconsensual images of women and children in bikinis or underwear generated by X’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, had made the site unusable, she said.
For years they knew it was shitty and they didn’t care. Yeesh.
Musk buys twitter? Let’s stay on twitter.
Musk makes the platform hostile to free speech? Whatever… Let’s stay on twitter.
Musk threatens advertisers? It’s all cool, let’s stay on twitter.
Musk abuses the staff? It’s fine, let’s stay on twitter.
Musk does multiple Hitler salutes and absolutely manhandles the U.S. government? Yeah that’s fine, let’s stay on twitter.
Musk adds a white-supremacist, nazi LLM. We love nazism, let’s stay on twitter.
Musk’s image generator starts undressing children. Let’s tentatively draw the line there!
At least, I guess, they vaguely care about some children? Like I can’t even really reconcile it with staying on the platform for all the rest.
There’s no excuse. Like seeing people complain about Reddit.
Exactly. Acting like they have no agency when it’s quite litterally a form of entertainment.
Better late than never.
I think.
Everyone only just now leaving should get dragged for being there in the first place.
I mean, good for them, but its interesting that the Nazis and racists and generalized misogyny weren’t enough.
