Yes, because it had absolutely nothing to do with TFA or the discussion. Farakahn still has a twitter account, before and after Musk took over. The point is, Twitter has a smaller mod team and that is leading to tons of behavior that's making advertisers more hesitant to use it as a platform.
- yucky 4y agoIt has everything to do with the article. Anybody who claims the discourse on Twitter is too negative now while having no problem with Farrakhan, ISIS etc over the years can't be taken seriously. My mind can be changed though. Can you provide some specific examples of this discourse now that rises above the level of the shit that Farrakhan says?
- Dudelander 4y agoThe worst thing Farrakhan has tweeted lately is a prayer defending Kanye, a person who was un-blocked by Musk. If that doesn't make everything crystal clear I don't know what will.
- yucky 4y agoAnd Hitler had decent paintings, but if you're willing to be associated with him then you get the whole package. Farrakhan has 30 year history of antisemitism but that's ok, certainly not as bad as Elon owning Twitter, right? Also, I asked for an example of this recent discourse that is worse that the types o comments Farrakhan has made, do you have some examples?
- Dudelander 4y agoI'm not going to link the anti-semetic things Kanye said here, but you can go to his Twitter page if you're curious. If that's not good enough for you then I guess we don't have anything to discuss.
- yucky 4y agoI read them. Nowhere near as virulent as what Farrakhan has been saying for decades. Again, nobody cared then for some reason. IT's almost like the offensive content isn't really what is driving people crazy, it's the loss of control of their major propaganda platform. Let's call it what it is.
