(15,468 posts)I few right wingers and haters (venn diagram?) have tried to rush the gates - the company itself has done nothing of substance.
Meanwhile - Kyrie Irving has nominated himself for the high seat of sh*t-for-brains athlete. It's obviously a jealousy thing with his older brother Ye.

Dear evil fascist Musk, you've invited all the crazies to your party of 24/7 hate.. you are now Alex Jones, Bannon, stone, racist guys from fox, the dead Limbaugh, and the soon to be indicted criminale and sexual predator#45 all rolled into one. What r u vying for, the most evil person in the wooorld?
Can you imagine what this young man could do for the good of humanity, the environment. Thanks Highplainsdem, DU on 10/28/2022 who posted this...

Elon Musk's Twitter: A 500% increase in the use of the n-word.

@ncri_io
Evidence suggests that bad actors are trying to test the limits on @Twitter. Several posts on 4chan encourage users to amplify derogatory slurs.
For example, over the last 12 hours, the use of the n-word has increased nearly 500% from the previous average.

(7,360 posts)Supposedly, it's only 300 accounts that are responsible for the increase in toxic tweets. That's out of 450 million monthly active users.

(689 posts)Twitter never had much moderation to begin with, only the most extremes. It got a bit better over the last year or so only because a lot of the losers went to Truth Social and other platforms. Now a lot got excited because they thought (incorrectly) that they were being censored on Twitter before and came back to spread their hate.
In reality nothing with Twitter itself has changed, Musk hasn't changed a thing. Just like always with trolls and bullies if you ignore them they will go away. If everyone who is decent on Twitter leaves then all that has happened is you've given it over to the trolls.

(4,168 posts)about Paul Pelosi and saying theres a tiny chanceits true is just one thing I strongly object to.
Several I admire called on progressive Twitter users to stay, counter the hate and propaganda especially as Twitter is so a part of the life of those in the news media. I took that to heart. But I reported Musks sharing of that nasty conspiracy theory. Egregious behavior as the new head of that platform, and no regard for humanity towards those grieving or hurting.
