Not to deflect blame from Musk, but Jack was just as bad. He openly let Trump ignore the rules and TOS of the website because it got more ad revenue into the site. Trump said the most asinine, racist, sexist, queerphobic, ablest bullshit, but who gives a shit when he’s the President?! He got suspended when he made Jan 6th happen. Everything before then was cool because it never got enough bad press.
Musk made it worse, but Jack is why it was possible in the first place. Jack banned leftists saying queer rights are more important than cishet feelings. Jack banned BIPOC from commenting on white people being openly racist and using slurs, but you called them a cracker once, you get perma-banned.
Correct, but at least the prior management cared about running a social media site. EM is actively making it worse than it was. I am losing no sleep thinking about it in a time when people are blaming all the social ills on X.
Its position in the cultural zeitgeist will not change until people make the move to Threads, Mastodon, and BlueSky. That is not happening overnight.
