    I’m a moderate. I tend to take a lot of what I read online with a grain of salt (as everyone should, but you know how that goes).

    A few months ago I decided to try X again and see for myself. I thought “what if this is just exaggerated hysterics, and the site really isn’t that bad.”

    No. It’s not exaggerated. It’s not hysterics. X / Twitter really is that bad of a dumpster fire. You can say “I don’t like Nazis” and a billion bots will accuse you of being a woke radical leftist.

    Sold my well-aged account to a scammer, haven’t looked back.

    Don’t worry, as soon as the fervor dies down Hyundai will go crawling back.

    Just like the advertisers did the last time they feigned outrage over the Nazi/WhiteSupremacist/Racist bullshit on twitter. Or the time before that one, or the time before that one, or the time before…

    I used to use tumblr for porn, then it went to twitter and telegram, after X took over I stopped using twitter.

    All of that to say that every so often I’ll hop on my scarcely used smut account and within three scrolls of the home feed I saw some of the worst in humanity, the content would have been bad enough on its own, but my god, the comments…
