Title: Eni Aluko says X allows people to 'vomit hatred unchecked'⁶
Post by: Nearly Sane on February 28, 2024, 11:39:42 AM

Is there some abuse such as death threats that need to be taken more seriously?  Yes. Is it just down to X's modding or lack of? No. Are there questions of free speech involved? Yes.

It might not be "just" down to X's lack of moderation, but that "just" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

The platform has been an absolute cesspit since Musk's takeover.

Admittedly it had a fair share of effluence prior to his appearance, but my goodness it has deteriorated.

Well the 'just' seems implied in the approach of the story.


As to pre and post Musk, has it deteriorated or is that a question of which line is drawn where by whom?

I meant to get back to this yesterday but was distracted by curry and rice or possibly Apple pie.

Anyway, a line has to be drawn but I don't think Musk has a pencil or ruler to use to do the drawing.

An example (if easily offended look away now) this is acceptable on X. I have seen worse btw but couldn't find an example and couldn't be bothered to search:
