    I have added Elon to my block keywords, but lately the circlejerk had somehow seeped its way out onto my feed.

    Could anyone share other blocked terms they find effective?

        Almost everything on X is pro Nazi content. How is this different?

        Deleted twitter at least 10 years ago. I assume it's become a lot worse but is the vast majority of it really pro Nazi?

          That sounds nice. I wish it was like that here.

          If you are in USA, I seriously wish so too, because the latrine that is the debate in USA is flowing over to the rest of the world.

            One you can blame the users. This one falls squarely on Xhitter.

              That’s what I hear. I deleted my Twitter many years ago, too. Although, it was still pretty bad then

                  Sounds like free speech here in the United States. I understand Musk might now be consistent but I do welcome free speech on social media. If you don't like it then block it & move on. It's almost like Democrats search for things to get upset about. Really annoying cause free speech used to be something Democrats cared about & now they are pro-censorship & fascist just like Republicans. They thirst for violence against people that say something that offends them.

                    Because they know their target audience, presumably.

                        It might seem trivial, but this stupid headline points to one reason Republicans have been winning. Everyone (notably journalists) still feels the need to "play the game" as they've always known it.

                        Oh, Candidate A said something? The game rules say you now have to run a quote in response from Candidate B.

                        But when Candidate B is an openly corrupt, lying, fascist, rapist shitpile who can't make it to the potty in time and is in the pocket of Russia, maybe take the fucking gloves off at some point and stop pretending you can or SHOULD be impartial. Here, watch:

                          Cuz its X, that's why. I really don't know why we tolerate this shit, or why people still use that site.

                            Just change it to 'controversial salute' and keep the rest. People will fill in the blanks

                              This can't be the whole truth, though. What ivanafterall is describing is true for essentially the whole western world. Media (or at least high-brow media) feel they need to be respectable, and to be respectable you have to be perfectly neutral. Not just in America did established media feel the need trivialise Musk's obvious Hitler salute, this happened all over. I follow Dutch and German media, and haven't seen a mainline newspaper call it what it was.

                                Sure it's an ad and not just the owner's tweets?

                                        The site is literally bought, paid for, and owned by a nazi.

                                        Next question.

                                          There are limits to free speech just like there are limits to other freedoms. For example: "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man’s nose begins." IOW where harm is done. So the question becomes do messages like this cause harm? IANAL, but I believe that it would qualify as hate speech, which is widely considered to cause harm.
