Elon buying Twitter in the first place (with plans to openly destroy it) was helping them commit rights abuses in the first place - Twitter was a critical communications/organization tool during the Arab Spring, musk's job was in part to make sure that it wasn't sustainable for that purpose in the future, and it now isn't.
This has been the main thing all along.
This is pre-xitter
So, would that be pronounced "Shitter"?
Seems apt.
But now they have the fediverse which is arguably a lot better than some corporate proprietary crap that censors anything revolutionary
but it has a very limited audience, and that probably won't change any time soon
True. I imagine in a few years there will at least be a few million spread across the whole fediverse.
I think the same but for many political happenings.
