    Nazi platform.

    Make sure to stop clicking on Nazi links when people post them. No matter how bad you want to see someone “prank” someone or cry about their perceived persecution.

    We need to stop making a Nazi platform important enough that it hurts democratic politicians when they lose access because of the Nazi in charge of said platform.

      and if you absolutely must see something on twitter, use xcancel instead.

      its a frontend for the same content, that doesn’t add views or ad revenue to twitter.

        You’ve called the good guys here the nazis and let the actual authoritarians off the hook scott-free.

        Only if you ignore that Twitter is owned by a nazi, and that the person above didn’t say anything about letting, the authoritarian regime in turkey off the hook.

        I know they would comply just as well, as I stated in another comment, because they are a private platform, but actually in this case the presence on Bluesky of the Imamoglu account in perfect condition with 129K followers proves that something else must be the case here.

        Also, X didn’t give a shit about complying in Brazil.

        Nah, Nazi platform does nazi stuff, it’s that simple.

        You can come down the mirror now.

          Bluesky blocked his account in turkey btw, just like X did. Bluesky have made no mention of challenging the legal request in court like X have though.

          Iirc the Brazil situation was the first time anything like this had happened since Musk bought Twitter. They definitely didn’t handle it correctly, but they’ve clearly learned since then. Now they comply with legal requests and challenge them through the courts. Would you prefer they just folded every time and didn’t challenge, like all the others? Like Bluesky?

          Good work on calling me a nazi though! I did nazi that coming!!

            The fact that Bluesky didn’t post about it doesn’t mean they did not challenge.

            Also, a file on Google Drive is not a petition submitted. There is nowhere a letter signed or stamped as received.

            You know you can pay a law firm for drafting a letter and then not send it, right?

            There are too many conclusions you are coming to without knowing the actual facts.

            I judge what happened for sure.

            And for sure both of them complied, officially asked to or not, to obscuring a political prisoner’s account (and dozens of other activists as well, by the way).

            Also, regarding X, this is old news, from the end of March.

            Also, are you X? Like, the platform, its personification? Because if you are not, then I didn’t call you a nazi. You can go clean your snot from your neckbeard.

              So your position is that X aren’t challenging the censorship request in court?

              That’s one hill to die on I guess.

              The X post is from the other day, not March.

        I think it has lost meaning.

        It has. Completely. Basically what it means today is “people who disagree with me” and should be regarded as such. Unfortunately the actual nazis will fly under the radar now.

        Some people wouldn’t know a Nazi if he was sending people to camps without trial, trying to outlaw the political opposition, fomenting a cult of personality, launching coups, oppressing the most vulnerable people, ratcheting up racist attacks, and threatening to attack Denmark.

        As a serious answer, Musk is into modern variants of eugenics and some scary techno-authoritarian stuff he shares with Peter Theil and other Silicon Valley royalty.

        Maybe he’s a techno-neonazi? That’s just semantics.

        His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring. But “Nazi” is an reasonable enough descriptor for his beliefs.

          Note how Jin, the Nazi Defender (not a Nazi themselves, they just defend people who are justifiably called Nazis) won’t respond to your answer.

          One feature from Reddit I liked was the ability to tag people. Or maybe that was the reddit enhancement suite. But Jin would’ve earned himself a big red “Nazi Defender” tag.

        If you perform a Nazi salute, you’re a Nazi.

        Musk performed TWO Nazi salutes on national television during a presidential inauguration.

        Musk owns X.

        Anymore questions? Do I need to illustrate with crayons?

          Some would say a Roman salute 🫡 So anything else substantial? That can’t be interpreted as something else?

            Italian here, Roman actually.

            The Roman salute has not origin in ancient history.

            It was formalized by Gabriele D’Annunzio, a sick fascist poet and writer, as a salute for his proto-fascist troops with which he occupied Fiume in modern-day Croatia, having been inspired this painting.

            So yea, the roman salute is a fascist salute, invented by a fascist, for a fascist occurrence and to call it roman is a disservice to Rome and history in general.

        The word ‘nazi’ has 100% lost its meaning.

        Might as well just be saying “I don’t like this person or group of people because they disagree with me.”

      Ekrem is Kemalist, which is very similar to a literal Nazi, but in the current world I’ll even agree he’s kinda better than many other variants.
