Musk's decision to revive nearly all banned accounts will turn the platform "into a one-stop shop for operationalizing doxxing and harassment, and an engine of radicalization." https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/11/24/twitter-musk-reverses-suspensions/ #tech #technology #twitter #elon #twittermigration #twittermigrate
‘Opening the gates of hell’: Musk says he will revive banned accounts

A Twitter poll posted by Elon Musk shows 72 percent support granting “general amnesty” to accounts suspended for harassment, abuse and misinformation.

@taylorlorenz except that if you're not a notable racist/MRA you can't actually get your account back.
@taylorlorenz I really didn’t want it completely delete my account on Twitter. But if he does this I will have to. My banner makes me unsafe. And if I can’t leave it up and express myself freely then I can’t stay.
@__Chimaera @taylorlorenz Ir MIGHT be better to just park it somo one else can seize your abandoned address & do identity theft on you.:(
@taylorlorenz And this is why i ditched the bird. #SenateDems Make the change. Your base is leaving #twitter #twittermigration
@taylorlorenz There may not have ever been a bloom on the Twitter rose but at least it was manageable because of some competent moderation. Musk has turned it into a playground for all the aggrieved fanboys who get their kicks by torturing people. I'll stay as long as I can stand it but the unpleasantness is palpable.
@taylorlorenz It's MuskChan.
@TeeCeeGee @taylorlorenz What’s crazy is how quickly the descent into darkness. I had no idea just how much went into making Twitter as safe a space they could. How many different departments there were. This careless behavior is going to have far reaching, and potentially deadly international consequences.
@cooltxchick @taylorlorenz Absolutely. And no more so than for marginalised groups. Boy their interactions took a hard turn. Elmo's naive idea of 'free speech' is going to turn Twitter into another 4chan full of clout chasing trolls.
@taylorlorenz The people who keep staying on Twitter, and acting like they can fight or ignore Musk or that somehow it won’t get bad are deluding themselves. It’s just going to keep getting worse. If Musk doesn’t care about what he does to advertisers or highly skilled employees why is he going to care about people with 1000/10K/100K/1 million follower accounts?
@taylorlorenz unless you leave. which i did. let them have it.

@taylorlorenz it's interesting that all the politicians and political parties are still there posting proudly. I'm not a senator or anything but at some I'd have to ask myself if this is where I want to post.

Now when White House posts.. that cesspool is the only place it's seen. It's sad

@taylorlorenz gotta cash in on those MAGA bucks while you can, you know what they say about fools and their money…
@taylorlorenz I'm not a lawyer but.... doesn't the way this was done mean Musk can be found liable for a lot of the damage that will inevitably ensue from this charlie foxtrot of a vanity project?
@taylorlorenz
#sad Seems Mr. Musk is in a self-feeding loop of doom. The more he add's 'old' banned users the more calm reasonable users leave.
@taylorlorenz Advertisers are sure going to love that. Who wouldn’t be thrilled at the prospect of their ad showing up next to some hateful content?
@taylorlorenz is he aware we have laws against hatred and violence in Europe?

@PH_Advocate @taylorlorenz what is "Europe"? And "law"?
He is the saviour of the whole universe and probably on the way to creating the 3rd testament, rewriting history.

He should urgently have his medication reviewed and see a psychiatrist.

@taylorlorenz I am still on the echo chamber given the people I follow, without being active, but this is the last straw that broke broke the camel’s back. Time to permanently delete my presence on twitter.
@taylorlorenz Finally pushed me to hit the deactivation button.
@taylorlorenz
The bird is a true dumpster fire and hive of fascist self pleasuring at this point.
Sad. I really depended on it for news and anti-fascist indications and warnings. 😞
