Good job I left twitter
Just spotted this on the Fediverse.
Twitter has reinstated the account of white nationalist Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.
From various reports, Twitter is now a cesspit of right wing people spreading their hated, a safe haven if you like for those who are racist, anti-Semitic, transphobic and homophobic as well as holocaust deniers.
Don't expect mainstream social media to report on this though, they seem to be part of the problem and not the solution.
Thankfully I left back in November, this after the grotesque way employees were dismissed and treated. Since then there has been a huge (millions) of new people join the decentralised social network(s).
This was posted to the fediverse, and I agree entirely
Musk and his minions have reinstated the account of one of the nation's most prominent bigots. This is not remotely surprising to anyone who's paying the slightest attention.
I remain surprised, and disappointed, that so many people in the journalism world still choose to use that platform -- knowing that they are supporting people who want to see the U.S. become a right-wing dictatorship.
All I will add is, I am equally surprised so many organisations who work with children and young people are still on Twitter, especially as they claim to be committed to safeguarding.
I will stick to the fediverse, I can engage in intelligent conversation.
