Interesting read though I did find some of his claims when still at #twitter to be hmm not accurate with what I was seeing in the data I was grabbing from their API. Well after they "shutdown bots" responsible for slurs there was still large amounts from many many accounts. #riptwitter #followfriday #spacekaren

For a couple of weeks, I hit the #twitter API endpoints using #powershell but building up in-memory over 300k tweets monitoring the usage of 3 different slurs in tweets then aggregating the data and pasting the results into excel so I could visualize it with a bunch of power pivot stuff. Can you tell when Elon took over??? It seems that twitter was not going to be a safe place in the future #riptwitter

@justin @heyrochelle nice. The data-driven analysis really drives the point home re the increase in slurs on Twitter, post-Musk (https://twit.social/@justin/109366750105135759)
