    I am an unabashed Twitter (not X.com) fan who continued to use it for a bit after he bought it and I feel like non-users don’t fully understand how fast it changed.

    It wasn’t a slow shift to the right, it was nearly instant. I saw the first rightwing shit on my apolitical timeline literally days after he bought it. I stopped using it when I started seeing straight up Nazi shit.

    As if I needed any more reason to hate them, Elon Musk, and to a lesser extent Donald Trump, ruined my favorite social media website.

      Strange. I’ve been a daily user for 4 years. I’ve still never seen Nazi stuff. It got more political in the past 6 months, but that’s expected.
