See this same pointless comment in every thread about twitter. Yes, there are an absolute ton of stupid people in the world. Copy pasting this same shitty comment won't change that, but hey that gives you free up votes even though that literally doesn't matter.
As long as shitty people keep making shitty comments that could fuck up this fantastic world, we will continue to resist platforms like X, now controlled by shitty people. Not looking for upvotes, this is Lemmy. So back to your X. Back to your nazi buddies.
How is pretending that X is irrelevant "resisting X"?
If anything, it comes across as if you are trying to hand wave the issue away. Elon Musk is using the platform to manipulate a huge number of people during an election, and you come in implying that nobody uses X.
There are ~335,000,000 monthly active X users. That's a significant captive audience to be on the receiving end of right-wing propaganda.
Anyone insinuating that X is not a popular site, and not a vector for election misinformation to propagate, are themselves spreading misinformation, and are ultimately carrying water for propagandists.
Don't do that.
Noone said it wasn’t a real platform nor popular, it is that we can choose to delete our accounts and not use it because of its owner. Simple, done.
Nobody said anything about deleting accounts or not using Twitter. You're just making shit up.
The comment was "People still use X?", which is clearly a phrased as rhetorical question intended to suggest that people don't use X anymore. Hundreds of millions of people use X, so this is an outright lie. That it is being used to dismiss allegations of widespread disinformation only makes the lie more problematic.
Obviously you are a young’n and have never heard someone be facetious.
I understand that it is facetious, but the humor in the statement is predicated on oft-repeated misinformation. The "just a joke" rhetoric doesn't work on me.
You are defending the use of X which is being used to spread misinformation and my only point is that people should consider NOT using it. I understand that they are using it, which continues to dumbfound me The point is that they are using it and that they should consider not using it!
I'm not defending the use of X, I'm acknowledging the widespread use of X.
I don't understand the exercise in deliberately misinterpreting me. Acting like you're stupid isn't a good look.
