X has taken its stance. Nazis on the platform are allowed. Pro-Hitler posts are allowed. Holocaust denial is allowed.

If you stay on a platform like that, you can't escape this creeping normalization. Even if you think you can.

"Oh, there goes another Holocaust denier. Just part of being online, I guess."

"Oh, another transphobe calling people dehumanizing slurs. Well that's the Internet for you."

Creeping normalization is like advertising. Even if you think it won't influence you, it will.

@eloquence I am torn between Elon's Idea of making X.com a collective mind of humans and X.com to become a dark web social platform.
There are both "good" and "bad" voices around the globe. If we don't know what the "bad" voices say, how can we make the human race better?

@jayyadav @eloquence this is the same argument as leaving terrorist recruitment websites up because then we know what they're doing and where

or to put it another way: I don't need to invite fascists into my home to know how to counter their arguments and propaganda
