“It is just over,” journalist @caseynewton told The Post.

“If you wouldn’t join Gab, or Parler, or Truth Social, there’s no reason you should be on X. I think it’s time for journalists and publishers, in particular, to acknowledge the new reality and to get the heck off that website.”

Antisemitism was rising online. Then Elon Musk’s X supercharged it.

Antisemitism has long festered on the internet, but the Israel-Gaza war and the loosening of content moderation on X have propelled it to unprecedented levels.

most people don't do the right thing even when it's obvious, but that which serves their immediate interests. look at people switching to other closed platforms. their own selfish math should tell them these platform owners too will squeeze them when they become dominant and have the power to do so with little cost. #enshittificaton

when will the popular people recognize their power to act collectively and permanently free themselves (and us)? #fediverse

@wjmaggos @taylorlorenz @caseynewton most important lesson I‘ve learned in my life: if you can assume malice or incompetence, always assume incompetence.

And boy have I assumed incompetence often.
