I went for months feeling like Twitter was going to basically stay the same for normal users even while Musk kept getting weirder and bitterer but I have to say, in the last few weeks there is really noticeably more right-wing troll content in my "For You" tab, and just plain LESS in my "Following" tab, presumably because a lot of people I follow are no longer posting.

As long as the fascist neo-nazi content is saturating the rest of the platform, but isn’t right on my feed, I’ll keep using it, eh?

can we not refer to Elon Musk as "elmo", as a point of respect to the beloved former ilxor elmo argonaut?

yeah idk how elmo is insulting. you’re either not wanting to say his name, or you’re comparing him to a children’s character that was only publicly reviled when he was made into a popular toy but has otherwise been a beloved, empathetic character for several generations

interesting to see how Thierry Breton's stepping in and using the EU's new rules on online media to threaten Musk plays out. he's set his blue-ticks on them and is trying to stonewall, but my gut reaction is they won't be fucked with on this.

Twitter has mostly been pretty good on the week's events. Have seen pics/footage of pro-Palestine protests in many parts of the world, for example.
Many posters have done very well to counter the current narratives. It's certainly coming through to me.

the level of warmongering on there combined with all the misinformation is too much for me, tho yeah there is more room for other views on there than say the tv news, also just the whole israel-palistine situation is so awful that i dont really want to consume endless info on it regardless of its political slant or quality
