(4,452 posts)It would be nice to have the word "twitter" in the title of an op. Maybe a real poll to prove consensus. It may be that many are waiting to see (for how long and after how much damage) how this all plays out. Seems clear to me what is going on. One billionaire is trying to have his way, to hell with, standing norms and potential damage to democracy. It's not a secret here that i have a problem with, Dangerous hate speech getting the protection of the our founding documents.
I don't think any social media giant should have the right to give voice to hate speech which leads to potentially violent outcomes. So we can wait and see what happens, or we can try to be proactively part of a solution.
By the way, I love the animal clips posted from twitter and some of the other stuff. They truly bring light into my day so I know it would be a loss to many. Sometimes we have to buck up until someone else does it right, hell some are even apparently trying now.
Will we make a difference to twitter or to the head cheese himself? Maybe even probably, not. I guarantee if those of like mind do not try, twitter as it is now will move ahead.
Not worth it to me.
