Please Get Off X

I’m not being political here. Politics are really beside the point.

X is a platform for hate speech toward pretty much any group currently in vogue to target and Musk endorses it. Blizzard doesn’t need to be there.

Apple, IBM, and other companies have pulled ads from X.

The world is a powder keg right now and none of us should support the punks throwing lit matches at the situation. The power we have lies in where we put our time and money, so I suggest not using X or any other platform that openly supports hate-speech.

Unless good people shut this crap down we are going to end up in real trouble.

No we aren’t. The internet isn’t a reflection of real life.
Ignore it and it will go away.

I think your interpretation of hate speech is free speech, X actively bans speech that promotes violence, that’s already been shown.

“Welcome to the General Discussion forum! This forum is here to provide you with a friendly environment where you can discuss all aspects of World of Warcraft with other players.”

Please take your quasi-sort of-political chat to an appropriate forum that is not this one.

Muted.

That’s demonstrably the opposite of what has happened online for decades.

I’m not a Democrat and haven’t been banned from social media. But I don’t make racist/homophobic posts.

Or, does that make me a Democrat?

I mean, technically it’s a free speech platform, but that’s also beside the point. What people do is up to them as is their right at least in my country, not that it means they are free of consequence, which they do try to hide behind.

Big differences.

Why are you against any person or organization not patronizing such a place as a demonstration of their freedom? Apple, IBM or Microsoft/Blizzard as this poster is suggesting are under no obligation to support Twitter.

So it changed from a left-wing hell-hole to a right-wing hell-hole.

Not much changed, really.

Also, feel free to ignore it. You don’t have to care about what trolls and morons type on the internet.

Yeah OP I think it would help if you linked people what Elon Musk recently did, because yeah, people should 100% get off X over it.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/17/business/elon-musk-reveals-his-actual-truth/index.html

Elon Musk has publicly endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory popular among White supremacists: that Jewish communities push “hatred against Whites.”

That kind of overt thumbs up to an antisemitic post shocked even some of Musk’s critics, who have long called him out for using racist or otherwise bigoted dog whistles on Twitter, now known as X. It was the multibillionaire’s most explicit public statement yet endorsing anti-Jewish views.

ICYMI: Musk was responding to a post Wednesday that said Jewish communities “have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.” The post also referenced “hordes of minorities” flooding Western countries, a popular antisemitic conspiracy theory.

It’s the kind of post you can find easily on X these days, and likely would have gone unnoticed had Musk, with more than 160 million followers, not re-shared the post with the comment: “You have said the actual truth.”

Here’s hoping I don’t get banned for linking this here and letting people know about it :crossed_fingers:
