All these news about X going to shit feels like that gif of the truck driving towards the pole but constantly cutting before the impact
Exactly! That’s exactly how it feels!

I’ve one the steps is, “use the letter X SOMEHOW, so people won’t laugh at you and will realize you are so cool finally”
Last step is selling it to yahoo!
Nah, it’s selling to Yahoo, then getting your parent company acquired by Verizon, then having Verizon spin your parent company off again.
wow everything is a nazi now including hitler
They never give Adolf Hitler credit- he killed Adolf Hitler.
“Everything that I don’t like (that is or openly supports a nazi) is now a nazi!”
These days mate, if you’re a Nazi, they’ll call you a Nazi! Oh no, when did this come in?
woke mind wizards
I got curious about just how bad said Nazi content is, and managed to find an article with some screenshots: https://nypost.com/2023/08/17/x-suspends-pro-hitler-account-after-brands-paused-ads/
Spoiler: very Nazi.
So it’s not just Nazi-compatible ideas. It’s straight out Nazi symbolism.
I really don’t get these people - even if you believe the Nazis were right, you know they are the most hated historical faction in the world. Wouldn’t it be better to advocate their ideas without explicitly associating yourself with them, just to avoid the (completely justified) knee-jerk reaction?
You’re suggesting that Nazi’s use their famous critical thinking skills to understand that 99% of the world hates them and their ideology?
Being evil is one thing, but there is no excuse for being stupid.
They want the negative reaction. They thrive on being hated. Similar with some of the worst Internet trolls. The hatred validates them.

I don’t think raising swastika flags counts as “without explicitly associating yourself with them”.

Also I’ll never call Twitter anything but Twitter.
I don’t know, I think there’s room for appropriate change here;
- Twater
- Twit’er
- Twixlers
I admit, my suggestions could use more help, but surely we must admit they’ve devolved from Twitter!?
You just accidentally named 3 mastodon instances.
Slap a .moe or .xyz or a .social and you’re federatin baby
Moe moe, kyun~
Sorry, wrong subreddit, err, community.
Just love how we all refer to it as “the company formerly known as Twitter”
Feels like “the artist formerly known as Prince”
It may have been implied.
Huh? That’s quite a leap, don’t you think? /s
Just keep calling it Twitter without acknowledging the name change. It’ll piss him off even more.
It’s still hosted on twitter.com, so idk what the deal is.
Can’t see any company, let alone something family friendly being remotely okay with any of this. Who wants to pay to be right next to Nazi content besides maybe MyPillow?
We don’t fucking want them on lemmy either
Then block the ukronazi instances, FFS.
User calls for far-right content to be removed whilst using far-right terminology. The cognitive dissonance must be excruciating.
It’s bizarre to see isn’t it? Trying to insult people by accusing them or being… you.
But they can’t see it. The entire depth of thought seems to be “Nazis are bad and I am good therefore I can’t be a Nazi”.
It doesn’t matter that their list of undesirables is virtually identical, or that their violent solutions are virtually identical, or that the guy standing next to them has a SS tattoo.
They don’t want to be a Nazi, so as far as they’re concerned, they’re not.
The what?
I’ve never seen the word before, but calling Ukraine’s president – who is Jewish – a “nazi” was a staple of Putin’s propaganda to support his war of imperial re-conquest.
You see, when Russia says they want to cleanse Ukraine of Nazis they actually mean Ashkenazis
Word, ukronazi
Turns out, money is very much anti-free speech.

Just keep calling it Twitter and campaign for other people to do the same.
That’s what happens when you hang out at a Nazi bar…
Yea see… they (corporations) prefer their money is made next to white supremacy less loudly. That’s all.
That’s why they just suspended ads, not terminated ad buying.
Any company still advertising on Twitter deserves to be associated with Nazis.
If you’re advertising on Twitter in 2023 and your target audience isn’t Nazis, what are you doing? 😅
And no one but Musk is the least bit surprised by the catastrophic failure of Twitter.
