I thought X got rid of all of the sane policies that twitter had?

I mean isn't X officially a white supremacist platform now anyways?

And EVERY single news organization in the US uses it both as their primary platform AND source for news.

Even fucking NPR. What the actual fuck is that about ?

90% of screenshots on Lemmy are from Twitter ffs. It boggles my mind, and I am not easily boggled.

The problem is consensus. No one can make consensus on abandoning the site happen.

Give me very little hope that the world can resist fascism if they can't stop using a website.

I thought NPR left Twitter when Musk had them labeled as "state controlled media"

They still.. to this day.. source Twitter in news articles. They still embed tweets.

Musky wanted to do that but Europe threatened to ban Twitter so now he just pretends that there are rules.
