I had a need to visit X a moment ago. I am pretty shocked by the amount of overt and explicit racism going on there. It seems to have become a point of pride.
I will likely be deleting the app soon, which breaks my heart, and I won’t see it, but knowing that millions of people are being steeped in that behavior and content is alarming.
@jerry Yes, there is sadness when something good goes bad. For me the tug of positive memories of the past stirs sentimental regret and makes change harder. I wish I remembered more of Shakespeare, I am sure he spoke/wrote of this. Glad now I deleted my Twitter account.
I don't know what you saw or who you're following or who they're interacting with.
I know for a fact there's racists on every platform.
That's no reason to stop using a service just because some of the users of it are racist.
The real reasons to stop using birdsite are because of its shitty privacy practices.
If they go through a lot of databreaches, like all the facebook-owned services do and they also collect all the intimate data they can from you life...yeah, that's why you should stop using a service.
@jerry I recently deleted my account, and after 14 years of awesome career networking, dank memes, and even the final years of nothing but breaking news, it was heartbreaking. It was like a breakup. 😂 But X seems to be past the point of redemption.
@jonoabroad from their perspective, they are “telling it like it is”, but it is wrong - just like people who believe the earth is flat and space is fake are wrong, yet they incessantly flap their mouths about it online. There are people who are just like that, but my concern is that others they are indoctrinating
