I wouldn't be surprised if it's even worse than he's describing, but at the same time, it's not like we didn't expect it. The platform has seen a colossal influx of bigots, and all kinds of completely unhinged people, because Elon has clearly shown that he's okay with them posting what they want
I just don't get what's so problematic with casual bigots when one can encounter Turkish and Azeri Nazis (and bots) in numbers and nobody is really trying to fight them, on any platform.
But then nobody's trying to fight them IRL.
In terms of these people Twitter was sort of better than Reddit, or so my sister says (she hasn't used Reddit, I haven't used Twitter).
What you've described is a problem anywhere, not just Twitter. It doesn't matter where it is. It's just wrong either way
Yes, well, maybe the way to fight it is decentralization (with control held by instance owners), not some "right" leadership.
People in general don't like that many bots and cannibals on their platforms, provided it's not a narrow group of people possibly just paid for that activity being tolerated (like Reddit owners).
