@Techmeme They also removed reporting options for all misinformation (other than fake identity, musk's pet peeve). People like Musk simply do not think lying is bad.

I don't understand people who continue to refuse to "surrender #Twitter to the fascists" and continue to post over there.

Twitter isn't a country. It's a platform. One of many. And if it is doing harm, it deserves to die. #StephMillerShow

@Techmeme Every government of the free world, that's still inexcusably maintaining a presence on the compromised Musk network can safely be considered supporters of a mis- & disinformation shitpool misleading people around the world for profit.
Musk's Xitter is the microblogging hoe trying to achieve at least Facebook's treason ranking.
