I’m dropping Twitter. Elon Musk is posting 1488 white supremacist trash and has reactivated many 4chan/8chan accounts. While I was willing to give him a chance to show he wasn’t actually a white supremacist asshole, I’m out.
He has since deleted the posts, the way he does, but there are many screenshots out there. I won’t share them in this post.
(Is deleting posts bad? Not necessarily. I deleted and redrafted twitter posts when I noticed typos, all the time. If I screwed up and shared something that had implications I was unaware of, I generally posted that I deleted a post and why. Posting white supremacy filth, leaving it up for a few hours, and then deleting, is a whole different thing.)
After much thought, I’m making @mwl@io.mwl.io my main fediverse/Mastodon account. There’s no need to burden my pals over at bsd.network with moderating me or the attention I attract.
But the important thing is: no more Twitter. Sorry, folks.
You know that 4/8 chan network is connected to the human trade business sure?
Only because I never thought about it. Both exhibit the same contempt for other people, so it’s not at all surprising.
I bailed from Twitter a couple weeks ago. I was never really a power user, never saw the utility of it. My withdrawal was painless 🙂
I couldn’t find anything via a duck duck go search about Elon tweeting 1488.
He’s deleted the most obvious ones, but is now feeding 14 and 88 tweets for white supremacists to QT.
