How do yall feel this entitled over another persons decision to use any particular social media šŸ˜‚super weird behavior

Who is being entitled? This guy is saying he's supporting the Nazi platform because his sports ball people are still on there. I told him that's a bullshit reason to stay on a platform.

The vast majority of people using twitter are not thinking ā€œIā€™m supporting a nazi but itā€™s okayā€. They are thinking ā€œIā€™m using twitter because I enjoy the content/interactionā€.

The issue on Reddit, and Lemmy even more so, is that you frame the issue as if people are knowingly supporting a nazi. This a silly straw man argument the only gets upvotes in chronically online circles

Have you been on Twitter recently? I kept getting white supremacist and MAGA tweet notifications left and right. I only followed progressive pages and random bands and music festivals. I even tested it out - blocked a high profile Nazi that I kept getting tweet notifications for - sure enough, got a notification for that same Nazi. It's a Nazi platform, 100%. Are you a Muskrat apologist/dickrider or something? Because that's what you come off across as. I've seen it with my own eyes, dawg.

Yes I have, and itā€™s nothing like what you describe on my end. I donā€™t even care for twitter, Iā€™m just explaining to you why your views are extremist and contain zero nuance. The world is not so black and white. Go touch grass my brother.
