Nazis are sub human and shouldnt have rights
The only good nazi is a dead nazi
Or maybe a grammar nazi... But I'm not sure they count
Nah, they are necessary evil. (grammar ones)
Why do they call everything an "app"?
The app is just the interface, the interface did nothing wrong, the entire platform is cooked.
Tech illiteracy
How does this work? It's filtered but still visible?
I think its hidden with a message that it contains something sensitive and you actively have to click on show to show it. Not sure though as I’m not on Xitter anymore.
Ah that would make sense
She’s a straight up Nazi
I have a feeling she takes black cock on the down low and doesn’t tell anyone
Yeah but she's doing them a favor /s
Anti-black? Is that a substitute for “racist” to avoid censorship?
To be fair, it’s far more precise, being a subset of racism, especially given the context of some racist slurs being filtered while others aren’t, depending on the targeted race.
In today’s fucked up world, it wouldn’t surprise me if anti-white and anti-black slurs were filtered but anti-hispanic and anti-asian slurs weren’t, for instance, maybe to drive nationalism regardless of race. I appreciate the additional clarity.
I think there’s more straight up anti-black people than full on racist. The world hates us 😂
People, please stop using twitter. Stop giving your attention and money to terrible people. Some people, like that white lady, are weak-minded and they will never learn.
This — why are people even still there? Get off it, full stop.
We're all here commenting on it. It's part of the outrage feedback loop.
Different people have different levels of tolerance to fecal matter. Some absolutely love the shit.
IDK How to tell you this, but fascist racists own everything and are planning to kill a whole bunch of people soon. I really think people are under estimating the severity of the vision these people have for the world.
Can you quantify soon here? I agree with you that they don't have good intentions, but I think that framing it as like, a planned genocide is not accurate. More realistically what can happen is more systemic injustices and consolidations of power to prevent anyone from resisting.
To start with, their plan for mass deportation probably already counts as a displacement genocide. There will be thousands of deaths from it leaving aside everything else wrong with it.
There are also approximately 3 million trans people in the US. Every single one of them is in danger as the fascists' chosen scapegoat.
kill a whole bunch of people soon
If you don't couch this a whole lot, it undermines the seriousness of what is actually about to happen.
Anything less than tens of millions dead falls short of your comment. And that's likely not the reality.

Trans people, the group currently most targeted for elimination by the right, represent about 1% of the US population. Jewish people in pre-Nazi Germany also represented about 1% of the population.
When Republicans past eliminationist laws meant to persecute trans people, deny them from public life, and kill them by taking away their healthcare, they are committing crimes of the same order as what Germany did in the 1930s.
That is simple historical by-the-numbers truth.
Is the holocaust really your measurement for the meaning of "killing a bunch of people?" I don't think things have to get all that bad to be justified in saying "a bunch of people died."
When you look into where contemporary right wing ideologies comes from, and what journalists are reporting on in online right wing spaces, a holocaust doesn't seem out of the question. The Turner Diaries is worth looking into. Robert Evans is also a pretty informed journalist on the matter.
What are you guys talking about?
Stop downvoting and tel what they are talking about lol
Kek ok that is funny
A guy from South Africa made his app anti-black? Shocking.
The white guy who is only rich because of black oppression in South Africa, in fact.
every day it gets more incredible to me that people are so fucking addicted to fake validation and fake likes from fake friends that they still use fucking twitter
Yeah! I like my fake validation and fake likes from anonymous friends over here on lemmy. Fake friends are overrated.
*cries in fake friend*
Exactly my thoughts
Wish people would just stop using Twitter.
Shit like this makes me wonder what it would actually take to convince people to stop
I treat people who have twitter accounts the same as I would someone who chain smokes in public areas: you're part of the mesh that prevents the substrate for nice things to exist.
Hopefully it's as much of collective social stigma as smoking is soon.
Unclear analogy - is the substrate going through the mesh the process of nice things existing? Maybe I'm thinking of substrate in a chemical sense rather than biological, or I'm just cooked. Is the mesh some sort of filter that allows bacteria to grow on the substrate (host)?
I take it as they’re saying, “you’re part of a framework that prevents the foundation of good things from being.”
It's simply amazing though how many people don't want to admit it. I mean they're not hiding it at all but there's so many places even here on Lemmy that love to stick their head in the sand and don't want to acknowledge how bad it's gotten.
The weirdest thing here to me is that people call twitter an app. Not a site/community/whatever.
Zoomers and later generations mostly interact with Internet services through apps.
And boomers and relatively old generations.
I have older folks don’t really get what a website is, and family kids that don’t either.
Theres a narrow demographic that (as a whole) experienced the “old” internet outside of siloes and apps.
It is an app. It is also those things.
Eh... Never thought about it, people use xitter more on phones now
It's no secret that Apartheid Leon is trying to make everything back to the way it was in South Africa when he was a kid.
I'm sure he already has a very nostalgic flag picked out when the name changes to The United States of X.
Reminds me of the excellent book and documentary "coded bias"
The irony of the dark mode being used as well
I really thought all this free speech nonsense was because they wanted to be free to be rude.
Really didn’t think it was that hypocritical that only some people can be rude…
Saying all speech is okay is something I can kind of respect, this isn’t it.
When someone says all speech should be free, there's usually a hidden subtext of "speech that I like"
Fuck me. I got off Twitter to not SEE this shits. Can You fuck off with it
You can block this community
It might be because “Lilly” it’s Twitter verified, not because of the context.
And look at how much more engagement it got. Not that it should show that either, it’s such a perverse incentive.
I don’t know which is worse TBH, and I wish Twitter was erased from all their devices.
