This is so fucked up. Across various social media platforms you have genocidal Zionists loons saying what they want using #KillThemAll, but yet Palestinian voices are being silenced and ol Melon Husk bans the phrase "From the river to the sea...".

Honestly if you look outside your comforts zone you'll realise every genocidal maniacs have been hanging out on twitter since its creation. After the terror attack in France we had all the insane islamist praising the asshole, that's nothing new

I'm not going to twitter to see but are they still using the little blue bird? I thought everything was X now.

They reference Twitter all over their own site. The site is still Twitter.com. Here's their page for advertisers.

Musk fired most of the moderators, and those messages are being sent automatically after a certain time period. I did an experiment before - searched for phrases like "death to nationality" and "kill all nationality", with various nationalities, and reported a dozen each to check if there is any bias: There isn't, all of them were ignored. I believe any moderators left, if there are still any, work by the queue of most reported first, and the top of the queue is most likely filled with brigaded reports from right wing trolls.

If you don't use specific keywords, there's essentially no moderation on Twitter right now. All of their moderation is via keyword.

What ? Did you believe there was any safety policies

Twitter has been like this (tools of the IDF) for multiple years now. Welcome to the club.

Instructions unclear - applied guidance to people named James Woods with a career in acting, born April 18, 1947.

Aside from Musk's Nazi tendencies, was this fine because Woods didn't specify the target of his call to genocide?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 9 points 11 months ago (3 children)

It's fine because Musk agrees.

He could have just decided to be a chill dude, retired from acting, maybe opened a golf pro shop with Jeremy Irons. Or I guess there's this approach.

Literally just came from a thread complaining Twitter was anti semitic lol. https://lemmy.world/post/8558857

Edit - I'm not saying either is true, I don't care about or use Twitter. If it makes you this upset I recommend you do the same.

[–] Thrashy@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You'll find that right wing lunatics are perfectly capable of being both virulently anti-Semitic and dogmatically pro-Israel, especially when being pro-Israel means either fulfilling some prophecy or other from Revelations, or promoting violence against Muslims. The cognitive dissonance of hating Jews while supporting a Jewish ethnostate is secondary to those other things.

Elon literally supported a Tweet that said Jews were going to destroy white people.

You know that, right?

Or are you going to claim that isn't antisemitic?

You can probably find a lot of anti semitic stuff on there. Hell Elon was posting some the other day. But that doesn't mean you aren't going to find anti Arab / anti muslim shit, or specifically this pro zionist garbage. Remember, there's a lot of pro zionists who are also white supremacists.

Is this not a crime in the USA? Pretty sure calls to violence is illegal in most countries.

No need to state that, I bet that's already in their plans
