X is Truth Social 2.0. At this point, anybody who doesn’t delete their account is a motherfucking Nazi.

yes of course, fairphone also has an instagram page. but shitter’s algorithm is really good at recommending artists to me. most of them pretty much exclusively use shitter or patreon to post their art.

Let’s say there’s a restaurant in town. It has the best burger (or veggie burger, whatever you might eat) you’ve ever tasted in your life. You can’t wait to go back. Then you see on the menu that they have an item called the n----r sandwich.
