Funny that the worse the Republicans are doing the more some people want to take the filters off of social media.

Right Wingers have always gotten preferential treatment and soft touch moderation on social media, because…

  • Their user base is fucking morons who click every ad, and buy tons of stupid shit (specially if it has their team name on it) bringing in disproportionate income

  • They know the bulk of their moderation problems are from Right wingers, and don’t want to look biased and drive them away by holding them to the same standard they hold everyone else, So they just let the right wingers get away with shit that would get cracked down and account bans handed out for anyone else.

  • Maybe that was the plan all along.

  • Turn Twitter into a turd soup

  • Educated people who don’t click ads stop using Twitter

  • Save unproductive bandwidth

  • By quitting twitter I’ve gone along with Musk’s plan. Damn it.

    Musk isnt that smart.

    Besides, a lot of those big advertisers don’t mind advertising to racists/fashies/terrorists, as long as they have the plausible deniability of “Oh, we advertise on twitter, it has a vibrant user base, lets not let the unsavory types ruin it for everyone”.

    A deniability that goes away now that its been bought by a fashy white supremacist who is actively purging the site of anyone critical to fashy white supremacism.

    No one but scummy companies like MyPillow and some asshole selling “gold” trump coins (totally legal tender!*) want to advertise to the creme of that crop.
