But Elon has no clue why everyone thinks he's a nazi
Reason # 3,487 to get off/stop paying attention to X, the 'everything app'.
Well, that is one way to get off the Nazi platform.
Just a friendly gesture among right-wing autocrats.
Expecting Bluesky to do the same in a short while.
Why?
What content broke the laws? Can you give more info? BlueSky has been pretty good so far so this surprises me
I left a precedent in another top-level comment (a screenshot). Also, broke the laws is not my standard in these cases.
There needs to be some sort of unblockable self-hosted broadcast system where users can spin up their own cloud hosted instance by entering a username and password and choosing one of hundreds of providers for a small fee, or self hosted instance as quickly and easily as installing a single app on an android phone. These with act just like websites, but with a common protocol and API so they can communicate with each other and with clients with no specific add-on. Then, Turkey or whoever could block Turkish ISPs from fulfilling that request, but anyone else could still access the instance in their client as long as their own instance doesn't block it.
Hostable on a phone, a windows PC, Linux PC, self-hosted VM, cloud rented VM, whatever. And easily portable from one place to another.
Sure, uptime and reliability would suffer, EG when PC is turned off, but that's acceptable to gain resilience against ISP, central services like google and Facebook and twitter, and government interference.
I have designed a system to do this, using very reliable existing protocols and programming frameworks, I just don't have the time or money to invest to make it happen.
Is it called the fediverse?
You've pretty much just described ActivityPub and the Fediverse.
Anyone can spin up their own instance. You can self host on a machine in your house, or with any cloud provider. You can broadcast messages in Twitter-style or Reddit-style format. Anyone can navigate to your web address and see your messages. Anyone who federates with you can see it on their website. FOSS Android apps are available.
You can't force anyone to actually read your messages of course, but that's a different matter.
Hah, I designed one as well!
I think the flow of information has to be fundamentally different.
In mine, people only receive data directly from people they know and trust in real life. This makes scaling easy, and makes it impossible for centralized entities to broadcast propaganda to everyone at once.
I described it at freetheinter.net if you're interested

Free-speech absolutists gonna free-speech.
Nazi platform.
Make sure to stop clicking on Nazi links when people post them. No matter how bad you want to see someone "prank" someone or cry about their perceived persecution.
We need to stop making a Nazi platform important enough that it hurts democratic politicians when they lose access because of the Nazi in charge of said platform.
and if you absolutely must see something on twitter, use xcancel instead.
its a frontend for the same content, that doesn't add views or ad revenue to twitter.

Elon following Turkish censorship
Just do like I do. I blocked x.com quite a while back now. Along with several other trash sites like it.

Anyone still on Xitter is part of the problem.
Delete it.
He was prisoned on corruption charges before, which were just government funds being moved
