- tclancy 6mo agoWhat’s the correlation between people defending Musk, Twitter and kiddie diddlers?
- pixel_popping 6mo agoI don't know either, I don't see the correlation with X and Musk either, as if he is the one developing the platform and not thousand of workers and leaders. What does the CEO of a platform has to do with what people post on it? The CEO of HN is responsible for what you just posted? Kinda funny how people are selective about it, when you land on a website, you check who is in charge of it and for each CEO change you redo a decision? When you host your Postgres in the cloud, I hope you check as well who is in charge of Railway or Supabase, who knows? :/
- spiderfarmer 6mo agoThere's only thing I find sadder than untouchable billionaires that never see any consequences for their actions: the people who think they need to stick up for them. > What does the CEO of a platform has to do with what people post on it? That CEO is actively promoting political viewpoints (via his account, his platform and his AI model) that are detrimental to my country and the way I want to live my life. > When you land on a website, you check who is in charge of it and for each CEO change you redo a decision? No. But if the CEO is very publicly a first-class a-hole, chances are I'll hear about it and I'll actively avoid doing business with them. That goes for the car dealership in my village, as well as the websites I interact with.
- pixel_popping 6mo agoI'm not from the US so I don't really care, X is an international platform and almost all the content I see isn't US related (which kinda make me think that people should just set their account from outside of the US to just avoid this?), but from your point of view, it seems more of a disagreement of beliefs, wouldn't this reasoning apply for your beliefs as well? If the CEO of a certain platform was agreeing with your beliefs but 50% of the population don't, you are practically saying that people disagreering should boycott said platform, but isn't that how you just end discourse between people and create an echo-chamber?

- 2ndorderthought 6mo agoThat's what it was doing. Like literally. Chatgpt it or Google it. Supporting grok is paying money to a csam generator. Edit I cannot reply to the post below me. I have gone entirely over to local models so I am paying zero dollars to any of the us defense contractors that are also tech companies. It's awesome.

- vrganj 6mo agoHow could MechaHitler possibly be far right...
- simianwords 6mo ago[flagged]
- vrganj 6mo agoSure. And so was the Holocaust denial and the misinformation about the French 2015 attacks and so on and so on. Its just roleplaying being a far right propaganda tool.

- simianwords 6mo agoAs admitted they have fixed it. It’s obvious that a tool used so vastly might have problems like this. Surely if you think it is used to produce far right propaganda now you can reproduce? Or you choose to hinge on one off issues they fixed?

- vrganj 6mo agoI don't remember any far-left opinions being popular there. Was stuff like worker's revolution or public ownership of the means of production ever in the Twitter mainstream?

- vrganj 6mo agoWhat's liberal identity politics have to do with leftism? Liberalism is a center-right ideology. Us leftists are concerned with class issues, not identity issues. Focusing on identity is nothing but a way to distract from class.
- gadders 6mo agoLol. Gender ideology is very much a policy of left wing parties. You may go for the One True Scotsman argument and say it's not proper leftism, and you may be right, but that doesn't stop it being policy.
