Ooh clever moving of the goal post there. Show me one example of Mark Zuckerberg posting to Facebook about how awesome a literal Nazi is. Personally unblocking said Nazi , and endorsing their message . That's the discussion buddy.
Okay, you have issues. Or are a troll. Or are a troll with issues.
I consider Twitter a dead platform because it is a nazi hellhole and I strongly recommend everyone just stop using it.
At this point though I do genuinely believe Facebook is worse because they've had a direct hand in at least one ethnic cleansing during my lifetime. Elon may quack like a duck but Zuckerberg swims, flies and waddles like a duck. I strongly recommend everyone just stops using Facebook and Instagram as well.
BUT ANYWAY, let me ask this: What's stopping Elon Musk from buying Bluesky, badging it as X2 and doing the whole thing over again? Bluesky is currently a private for-profit company operating mainly on venture capital, just like Twitter was when it was a startup. It's never going to support itself on its own revenue, that venture capital will eventually run out, there will be an IPO, it will suddenly be open to the whims of shareholders who will demand dark patterns and engagement at all costs and everything that has made the rest of the internet suck and they won't care if their algorithms boost genocidal messages that erupt in widespread violence as long as their dividends come in.
It's just a nope from me, and everything you will ever say will further convince me.
You realize the entirety of your argument here is that yeah sure Twitter might be full of Nazis and pedophiles and all that terrible stuff right now but Blue Sky could be later in the future if certain unlikely things happen? Do you realize what an absurd argument that is?
Nope. My argument is not absurd because not using any of them is an option. You realize that's a thing you can do, right? Give none of them your attention?
What on earth does that have to do with anything? That was never the topic of discussion. You said they were the same. I said they're not the same as one doesn't literally endorse and promote Nazis, you said yet. As if it is an inevitability, even ignoring the fact that who cares what could possibly happen in a nebulous hypothetical future, right now they're clearly not the same. You're just an absurd person.
I'm not sure why you want to try and normalize and trivialize the idea of promoting Nazism on a website.
I was right, you're a troll. Eat sand.
