    I got curious about just how bad said Nazi content is, and managed to find an article with some screenshots: https://nypost.com/2023/08/17/x-suspends-pro-hitler-account-after-brands-paused-ads/

    Spoiler: very Nazi.

    So it’s not just Nazi-compatible ideas. It’s straight out Nazi symbolism.

    I really don’t get these people - even if you believe the Nazis were right, you know they are the most hated historical faction in the world. Wouldn’t it be better to advocate their ideas without explicitly associating yourself with them, just to avoid the (completely justified) knee-jerk reaction?

    Lunatics always show up in my For You feed on Twitter. I always tag the company with a screenshot of the offending content with the advertisement. Lately it’s been weird advertisements. Shitty gambling apps, religious and personal accounts promoting their personal brand. So they likely don’t care.

    Also I’ll never call Twitter anything but Twitter.

      Also I’ll never call Twitter anything but Twitter.

      I don’t know, I think there’s room for appropriate change here;

      • Twater
      • Twit’er
      • Twixlers

      I admit, my suggestions could use more help, but surely we must admit they’ve devolved from Twitter!?

    Can’t see any company, let alone something family friendly being remotely okay with any of this. Who wants to pay to be right next to Nazi content besides maybe MyPillow?

    I wish they hadn’t change the name. It was much easier to keep bullshit I do not care about out of my newsfeed when it was called twitter.

    Does anybody else have a feeling like it’s a New Coke situation?

    Drive it into the ground, then a year later come back with a shadow CEO and say “We’re back and better than ever”…profit.

        They seriously need to put her face as the last image on the Wikipedia page for sycophant. The pattern is her lagging response with hollow corporate, “girlboss” speak to frame a random 2am gut response from elon as a considered business decision. Her statements to justify his BS are BURSTING with double speak and circular nothingness.

    If you’re advertising on Twitter in 2023 and your target audience isn’t Nazis, what are you doing? 😅
