      No wonder the stupid ass nazi site doesn’t close down if all you supposed leftists are on there still. How are we going to have a revolution if everyone is too fucking ridiculously addicted to idiot shit like twitter to even quit it

        Twitter is a good source of news from journalists who have a lack of better options for a platform that gets information out as a quickly as possible. Thankfully, IRC is making a comeback.

        I personally don’t use it, but I understand someone having an account to keep an eye on what’s happening in the current chud-sphere or literal official white house statements. Or to find IRCs/channels for news. Paying for it is inexcusable, though.

          There’s a difference between one person ‘keeping an eye on it’ and thousands just not wanting to leave it because it’s what’s familiar. You don’t have to pay for it to support it you just have to be using it.

            I can agree with that still, but I don’t blame people using it for certain journalists who don’t have a substack or other form of “alternative media” that isn’t channel slop especially when there isn’t as much of a presence on alternatives.

            In the same vein as well, we can say a lot about pretty much anything we use as being a byproduct of serious evil exploitation.

                The products you consume every single day or once per week or even a month is likely tied to some ghoulish shit. If you use a phone, computer or any electronic it likely has lithium mined from child-labor. Most social media is ran by ghouls.

                However, if you intend to stay up to date and current with the modern world you’ll understand that under capitalism there is no avoiding exploitation. Everything you use is made with it.

                Sadly, there is a lot of sources of information on X that you really can’t get anywhere else. Otherwise, most people decouple from it as much as they can. Personally, I don’t even use it. But I can understand why some would.

                  Lot of people in here defending it. There’s ghouls and then there’s people who send cars into space just for kicks and allow millions of their products to be sold with life threatening defects, whilst being a nazi. You all defend xhitter all you fucking want. I won’t go back. I don’t care who is on there, I ain’t supporting that trash.

                    No one is defending it. They’re saying they use it for things they can’t find elsewhere like I mentioned multiple times.

                    That is literally a solid chunk of billionaires…pharma??

                    No one is defending it or telling you that you have to go back. That’s your prerogative.
