    I never liked this stupid idea.

    The ‘stupid idea’ that people don’t want to be around Nazis? 🤔

    If anti-Nazis start to hang out at a bar, does it become an anti-Nazi bar?

    Muh both sides.

    What about both Nazis & anti-Nazis: who wins? It seems you privilege the presence of Nazis in deciding the kind of bar it is with no chance of anyone else showing up to decide the kind of bar they make it with their mere presence. You privilege Nazis

    Do I really have to explain to you why Nazis coming into a bar is different than anti-nazis coming into a bar to normal people? If so, I’ll have to go break out the big box of Crayola for you.

    As to the rest, I’ve played this game before, and it’s not worth my time to argue with Nazis directly, especially when the platform is moderating against normal people. I’d rather see the platform user count fall and it fail vs giving them money and traffic. There are plenty of other social media sites out there, stop propping up the shitty ones.

      Arguing is easy when you ignore everything you’re responding to.

      Already answered with

      Yet some people can regularly use x.com without ever running into Nazis just like the web or the world.

      Maybe you need to stop speaking a Nazi bar language, abandon the Nazi bar web, or leave the Nazi bar world. Everything is tainted. This is just bad company fallacy mentioned before.

      You do that: it seems you need to sate your hunger for crayons. Explain what you’re doing on the web or in the world.

      I’d rather see the platform user count fall and it fail vs giving them money and traffic.

      Musk is a hundred billionaire with fuck you money. He bought the platform at a loss while it was only making losses. It’s probably still making losses. I doubt it’s making any money. Using it while blocking ads (which I’ve never seen) might increase losses.

      Nazis, anti-Nazis, & anyone else have as much right to claim a space as anything they like. Calling some communication system a Nazi bar as soon as Nazis aren’t silenced is just a subjective judgement. Others are on there, and it’s as much their bar, too. It’s a bar.

      All you’re defending is acting morally superior by judging the people who don’t cower off as going to a “Nazi bar” when really you’re not morally superior at all: you’re giving up by failing to stand by your convictions & letting the extremists increasingly sway public discourse on a popular platform. It’s a load of shit.

        Only the stupid parts of arguments, sorry

        Yet some people can regularly use x.com without ever running into Nazis just like the web or the world.

        ‘some people don’t see it so it’s not a big bit deal’ is a fucking moronic argument, barely worth responding to.

        Maybe you need to stop speaking a Nazi bar language, abandon the Nazi bar web, or leave the Nazi bar world. Everything is tainted. This is just bad company fallacy mentioned before.

        Much like this. Everything you mentioned is actually meaningful or useful. Twitter isn’t. Your argument is literally the Reductio ad absurdum fallacy.

        You do that: it seems you need to sate your hunger for crayons.

        People don’t like Nazis, people who support/defend Nazis, or platforms where Nazis are protected and promoted.

        Explain what you’re doing on the web or in the world.

        The same moronic argument as before.

        Musk is a hundred billionaire with fuck you money. He bought the platform at a loss while it was only making losses. It’s probably still making losses. I doubt it’s making any money. Using it while blocking ads (which I’ve never seen) might increase losses.

        And your argument is to support his failing platform.

        Calling some communication system a Nazi bar as soon as Nazis aren’t silenced is just a subjective judgement.

        Promoted by the platform is the same as not silencing them, clearly.

        All you’re defending is acting morally superior by judging the people who don’t cower off as going to a “Nazi bar”

        No, I’m looking down on you for defending your use of a failing platform that’s gone wildly against normal people and their craziness is only being propped up by inertia and you’re doing everything you can do to cover for your choice.

        when really you’re not morally superior at all: you’re giving up by failing to stand by your convictions & letting the extremists increasingly sway public discourse on a popular platform. It’s a load of shit.

        Or I’m choosing not promote a far right site bought by a billionaire with the express purpose of using the existing user base to spread far right propaganda, limit the ability of people to see the shit people post unless they make an account, and generally upset the applecart.

        But you’re definitely soooooooooo much better because you choose to hang on the Nazi site willingly and twist yourself up in a pretzel to justify your choice.

        I’m amused at how upset you are about my choice in words though, I’m sure you’ll come up with some other idiotic reason why your choice to support a Nazi billionaire who brought out MechaHitler in response to ‘woke’ AI is the real moral choice.

        Don’t care one way or the other, I’m not bothering with you any longer. 🤡🤡🤡
