There's a lot more overt racism now!
- tjs8rj 4y agoA lot more overt racism? You could always search "white people" and find plenty of dark and nasty things, including from very public people who get plenty of praise for it. Overt and celebrated racism has always had a home on Twitter, and if anything there seems to be somewhat less of it.
- giraffe_lady 4y agoIf you think the problem with racism on twitter is people being mean to white folks you are probably thrilled with the changes yes.
- tjs8rj 4y agoThe difference is I'm of the somehow-rare (on Twitter at least) opinion that ALL racism is a problem.
- goldenchrome 4y agoWell the question is, do you want a town square or do you want a gated community? Town squares have a lot of filth. To filter it out is to pretend that humanity is something that it isn’t. You can filter it out in your own Twitter by following people you like.
- giraffe_lady 4y agoYou can have a town square without nazis actually it turns out if you want to which obviously we don't right?
- goldenchrome 4y agoTown squares have racists, hedonists, nihilists, globalists, misanthropists, moralists, pacifists, anarchists, theologists and everything else. The only new thing about this town square is that everyone has a megaphone. It’s up to you to find the crowd you want. Some of the things you don’t tolerate are benign to others. And some of the things you like are cancerous to others.
