John Oliver's Show covered what's happening with X/Twitter. How it's algorithms are designed to push right-wing content, and how people don't just get away with, but get paid for inciting violence and hate speech. His advice? Leave X.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZG_xWYLzI@hpod16 Anyone using X has made their choice. "Oh, you can't blame people for that, that's not nice, it's not their fault, etc."
Nonsense. Does it suck what happened to it? Yep. Is there Any excuse for still being there? Of course not. The nazis took over the bar; you can't drink there and pretend you're not in a nazi bar.

Is there anyone left there of good faith or will? If you're there to promote your products that doesn't count toward good will. -

Please, please leave Twitter, Facebook and everything alike, if you care about peace in the world. I don't care if you need it to keep in touch with people or to promote yourself, just leave and stop enabling propaganda that's tearing society apart. -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZG_xWYLzI@hpod16 Worth a watch if you somehow after all this time still need to be convinced. But like MAGA people you may be a lost cause.
Also it's really worth watching for Elon's interview meltdown where he's desperately searching for something deep-sounding to say, and just utterly fails. Like John Oliver said, "And I promise, this answer is so much worse than what you are prepared for."

Several ukrainian youtubers who are too busy trying to survive the nightly kremlin missile and drone attacks to worry about following musk's hellscape creation status. Definitely good will but they have to use their finite time carefully. I wince when they say follow on twitter but it's hard to really get what an evil bastard musk is when you are on an active war front every day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZG_xWYLzI@hpod16 I can't comprehend why those who have been aware of the wide-ranging harm caused by Twitter (or Meta, or Spotify, etc.) are still using the platforms. There are options. The universe will not implode and your life will not stop if you cease giving your screen time and ad revenue to the Nazis and parasitic capitalists who are quite literally accelerating the downfall of society. It's bad enough that millions who don't know any better are still feeding the machines.

@ianto_jones @hpod16
Choice is exactly the problem. People don't "choose" to use X or Insta or Windows. It's the "de facto standard" you never have to think about.
Moving to ethical alternatives is a choice, that involves effort and taking responsibility for that choice. Nobody wants that. -

@hpod16 I really don't know. I do know that whilst Twitter was a huge part of my online life, what with Musk at the helm, there's no "for old times' sake" for me--much in the way that the United States, where I once lived, loved and worked, could never be "home" to me now. It's sad, but there it is.
@Eetschrijver @hpod16 yeah, I got into twitter by using text messages for it. I was proud of what it became. When that dude took over I ran like hell and started screaming that "they bought the community center and they are tearing it down like we lost a 1980s underdog comedy!"
