The definitions of hate and extremism are inherently tied to personal values. Many people perceive much of the speech on X as hateful and extremist because it directly contradicts their core values, not because they're arbitrarily expanding those definitions.

This analogy only works if everyone abides by a social contract. that’s often not the case on X. It’s like if the people at the next table overheard you, didn’t like what you said, and decided to come over and spit in your food. That’s the experience many people have on X.

- verdverm 2y agoIt's not the back and forth, it's the original content that gets posted that you find objectionable, and in which the comments / reposts become quite toxic thereafter with people disagreeing There is most definitely original content that is hateful, racist, and/or extreme on X that goes beyond the difference of policy or ethical opinions
