Now what.

Huh. Where's the troll part?

I've been using Twitter extensively since Musk took over, and collected 3000 followers before they permabanned my first account for its first DMCA violation (I posted the "20 Days In Mariupol" documentary which was freely available on Youtube). No recourse, no nothing, Elon replaced Twitter staff with groypers who love Stalin and Putin, that's one explanation. I rebuilt the account from scratch and got to 2600 followers. Suffice to say I was engaged actively enough to observe what was going on. There used to be automatic filters on Twitter which flagged a lot of language used in ragebait and incitement rhetoric, and sent it to moderators. Also, reporting a post for a reason which actually matches their "reasons list", got it suspended or forced the owner to delete the post. This existed because "free speech absolutism" doesn't work on the Internet. "Internet Asshole Syndrome" always kills it - you can post whatever garbage ragebait incitement you want, and without consequences, it will out-engage, overwhelm, drown out any sane content. Free speech is only possible within confines of civilized exchange. Real life exchanges in person, enforces this naturally. Digitally, Elon removed any attempts at keeping the civilized exchange, and Twitter became Gab. Quickly, it got run over by foreign bot farms pushing Nazi ideology, Russian propaganda, and ragebaiting grifters. You can see a post denying the Holocaust, report it for a reason fairly accurately matching that, and nothing will happen. "Community Notes" which is supposed to prioritize truth, appears to have been nerfed and manipulated. There are way too few community notes considering the amount of blatant lies being posted. Instead of "free speech absolutism" we got a dumpster fire. Ragebaiting gets clicks, gets ad revenue, which is beneficial to Musk - but the platform thrives on monetizing disinformation and bias, the signal-to-noise ratio is very low. The only value Twitter has, is when fresh horrible things happen and videos are posted of them immediately, faster than anything on the news. But that little bit of temporary objective truth quickly gets diluted, edited, memed to hell, AI'd, and turned into propaganda by various interested parties. Essentially Twitter is like an Infowars Social Network now. Overrun by grifters and bot farms, it is there to ragebait and mine engagement, with occasional bits of true events being covered briefly to maintain a veil of legitimacy - "see? we show you everything!" Yeah, they show you everything - with 90% of disinformation garbage and hostile state agendas piling up on top of it. Maybe people are getting sick of toxicity and waking up? Maybe they are starting to migrate to platforms which enforce civil discourse, instead of having 10,000 grifters simultaneously post video of "migrant assaults white European man on a train and gets KO'd" which is in reality just two drunk white Russians in a train in St. Petersburg? Frankly, I hope so.

That's all.

It's not genocide, it's war that Israel didn't start, but had to finish. And the figures you cite, are made up by Hamas. Seek help.

It's funny that Musk is literally doing what Torba did with Gab - by disabling 99% of moderation he opened up the platform to hostile state bot farms and basement Nazis (both real and fake).

No. It was the 13-year-old girl who slit her mom's throat in November: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/... It created quite a stir in Russia, and was the tipping point for the Roblox ban.

Thank you. Hope your friend gets better.

She's a deep introvert. Claude AI convinced her that she's a spiritual genius who discovered a revolutionary concept, and she wrote an Amazon book about it. The concept was Eckhart Tolle's "pain body", also described by other known spiritual teachers, and even the L. Ron Hubbard dude, but she rebranded it and somehow got it into her head that she invented it. The book has been out for months and has 0 reviews. In the preface to the book, she affectionately calls the AI who confirmed her undeniable genius, "Papa Sky". Who became a sort of replacement for her absentee father. When I tried to appeal to her sanity, she said that it's my destructive inner programming trying to bring her system down and she can't have that kind of energy, so she unfriended me on Facebook.

You people should stick to tech stuff instead of defending terrorists who lob thousands of rockets on the most progressive, inclusive and humane society in the Middle East. That's as polite as I can put it.

Pat yourself on the head for being a Good German.

This is objectively false.

... then in addition to instigation from the Right, shut down multiple antifa and BLM groups and postings on all major social networks which have been used to organize and instigate violence against peaceful right-wing rallies since 2016. In fact, take down the networks for even allowing it. Nuke the antifa groups and accounts like you've nuked the "WalkAway" movement group which had 500K members on Facebook. #WalkAway wasn't organizing violence - antifa is. I've been at multiple peaceful mainstream rallies which were physically assaulted by antifa and BLM following their online blasts. That is the actual reality, not Twitter. Shut down instigation for both sides, or admit that you're covering for one's side hate speech and violence while suppressing the other. Hypocrites.

I grew up in Moldavia, which was very similar to Ukraine. Here are some brief descriptions of our life conditions. HEALTHCARE: Free. Long lines in clinics, minimal electronic equipment. Technology lagging behind the West by decades. No per-patient electronic monitors in hospitals - they were just a multitude of rooms with beds. Ambulances took 3-to-infinity hours to arrive, that is to say half the time they simply would not. My mom had to bribe someone to get me some medical cream that you can simply get in any pharmacy in a capitalist country (including modern Russia). Needles were routinely re-sterilized and reused - the country could not afford to produce single-use needles. Dental cavity repair was done without anesthetics even if you're a small child. Overall the dentistry was at 19th century level. We didn't have the notion of teeth cleanings or mental health, or depression or anxiety. Those were luxurious concepts for which there was no space in USSR. Our women were getting seriously worried if they weren't pregnant by 24. By 27 they were considered "endangered old moms". By 40 people would consider themselves over the hill, and by 60 they would have one foot in the grave. Don't believe any "statistics" that would make Soviet health or mortality on par with the West. USSR was a totalitarian regime, and there was no honest collection of data. EDUCATION: Free and very good in terms of actual education. Of course, the Western mind is conditioned to believe that good education puts you on a good path in life. You get paid far more to be a surgeon than a construction worker in the West - but not in USSR. This is why there was a flood of immigrants from countries like USSR who used to hold prestigious degrees, like lawyers and surgeons, but still chose to become "lowly" taxi drivers in America, because being a taxi driver allowed them to provide a better quality of life for their family than they would ever get in Soviet Union - and just as importantly, an upward path. In USSR you rarely had an upward path, and usually it was obtained via illegal means. The whole ideology on which our country was built, detested those who are better than you, and thus, it detested "you 10 years from now being any more advanced in quality of life than you are today". So you weren't allowed to become that. PUBLIC TRANSPORT: I haven't used the metro services. Our electric buses (trolleybuses) were always packed tightly with cranky people. We always stood in them. Our trains were minimally serviced - there's a great scene in the American-Russian film "Transsiberian" which demonstrates our customer service on trains. Some things haven't changed. I remember the train bathrooms being nasty, like beach bathrooms. ABUNDANCE: This is a very important topic that gets skimmed over by people in the West who take the abundance surrounding them for granted. In Western countries, most of the scarcity you experience, is localized to YOU. YOU can't get the fancy car because you don't have the money. YOU can't afford the fancy medical treatment. YOU are looking thru the store window at that QLED 8K television that you can't budget for right now. First-Worlders have trouble understanding systemic scarcity, where no matter how good you are at your job, or how well you're performing within the system, you simply can't get things. You can't ever get toilet paper, nobody even tries. You can't get good jeans. They're too complex and too high-quality to manufacture by our factories. You can't get vegetables year-round - they come out in seasons, because we didn't have hydroponic technology. When your fridge of TV breaks, you can't just put it out and buy a new one - these are massive investments, they need to be repaired ad infinitum. We were taught to expect everyday scarcity, that's how our world worked. Milk is in deficit this week. Meat is in deficit this week. Hot water (or all water) will be turned off for a couple of days, fill up your bathtub. Go get water from the forest if you must. If your disease exceeds our medical abilities, you can't gather enough donations to get treatment in a better clinic. There IS no better clinic. When I walked into an ordinary American supermarket, it blew my mind. All kinds of BRANDS (which we didn't have the concept of) of different types of "in deficit" foods, just lying there, without crowds stampeding and forming multi-hour lines immediately. American pharmacies... you just go in and buy Tylenol without a prescription from the doctor, without driving to the clinic in the angry bus and waiting for hours to see the doctor...actually I don't think we had anything like Tylenol even by prescription. Imagine growing up in a world where scarcity and gaming the dysfunctional system to get basic things, was part of your mentality. Then you have a 16-hour plane ride and end up in what is basically paradise - a capitalist country.

I was such a citizen. The Americans in general have intellectually degraded as a whole, which made them susceptible to basic Soviet brainwashing, the century-old KGB strategy of cutting the legs from under a capitalist regime by making capitalism "racist" and morally equating it to feudalism. We brainwashed your visiting dignitaries and even the everyday Joes by default. American visitors (with their weird smiling habit - what was there to smile about?), were kept at a distance from us regular Soviet citizens, including being contained in special hotels unavailable to us. Those hotels siphoned resources from the city surrounding them, which included toilet paper - a luxury none of us had. There was a reason for this isolation. Though some of my schoolmates managed to interact with Americans outside the "foreign tourist" hotel, interactions were brief on the way in and out, and they mostly begged for bubble gum. We never had something as cool as bubble gum. Other than these occasional intercepts, Americans weren't really mingling with the population. Their experience was controlled.
