I observed racism and toxicity on X. Reported a couple pretty bad posts (eg a user wishing for drowning of immigrants), but the platform decided they’re okay based their own moderation rules.
Can’t decide if this response is Absence of Evidence or Black Swan fallacy. Either way, just because you haven’t experienced something, doesn’t mean its false.
Haven’t been on it since Elon purchased the company. I do know that Twitter by virtue of being powered by who you follow can have a vastly different feel to different people.
If you start getting into political stuff, even in the before times, it could get pretty nasty. I can only imagine that’s worse now.
Try following the blue checkmark folk, and you’ll soon be flooded with toxicity. Alternatively… avoid the blue like the plague it is, and you’ll find very little toxicity.
There’s plenty, but there’s toxicity to be found on every platform. I interpret this as people being mad that Trump was unbanned, or maybe some other ideological issue that mainstream Liberals have.
I think the bigger problem with twitter is that the bots have taken over and the content continues to spiral the drain (but again, happens on plenty of platforms).
I keep hearing about toxicity on X, then not seeing it. I’m starting to doubt this premise is true.

X is “pay to troll”.
