Yeah, it's upsetting when people weaponize words antisemitism by doing things like *checks notes* getting shocked when the world's richest man agrees with a pretty explicit pro-Nazi account and series of tweets.

:rolleyes: It's because these organizations (that actively monitor online hate speech) are run by evil left wokeists!

"antisemitism" definitely sometimes gets applied too broadly e.g. if someoe criticizes Israeli policies as an attempt to shut down the discussion.

But that's definitely what these assholes have in mind lol.

I will say that it's actually genuinely surprising to see this getting such widespread coverage in major news outlets. Also frustrating considering all the heinous poo poo he's boosted and said that seemed to have gotten unnoticed, but seeing his face across multiple news sites with headlines talking about his recent remarks is something, at least.

Meanwhile....Musk didn't need to do this. He didn't need to do any of this. He had more money than God and could have hosed off anywhere, but it's frankly amazing how the obscene wealth is just never enough. He just had to overpay for Twitter and make himself the permanent main character.

i think the only reason big companies are still on x, the everything app, is brand image protection. sure you can say we're not going to be on x, the everything app, anymore but then elon is gonna auction off your handle to the highest bidder who will inevitably be someone combating the Woke Mind Virus and then cause a whole ruckus for you.

There's that and inertia, but another factor is that it (along with Discord) replaced community forums for contact. All those stories of people reaching out to the company on Twitter for technical or procedural issues. Threads is phone-only, Bluesky isn't public access yet ("I have to talk to a company rep, let me find someone with a code" doesn't work), Mastodon isn't nearly as scary as it looks but it looks scary.

Twitter was a terrible option for doing that sort of thing even before The Troubles, but it was the option people went to.

I want to clarify the following statement by saying that I hate the way in which the right has been backed into an ideological corner on this because it breeds dangerous people, politicians, and circumstances:

I loving love that they cannot put down one ideological crusade for five loving seconds while trying to advance their position on another

what sucks is he's technically able to back this claim up because there are material examples of the idiom being used to quite clearly insinuate that someone somewhere wanted to purge Israel, but by that logic I am able to call the American flag a hate symbol because I can point very clearly to a couple of insane loons who wielded it as a shield while planning or conducting mass shootings
