Also, don’t leave your account unused, delete it. User and follower numbers count.
And least as important, reply (if necessary to another corporate mail address) every email with Twitter/X in the footer, with a kind request to stop promoting and facilitating X.
You must log in or register to comment.
If your user name is closely tied to your online identity, I am hesitant to delete if they recycle the usernames and some total nut job takes your old handle and people think you’ve gone off the deep end - just a thought.
If you haven’t already quit then a whole lot of people have already made a whole lot of assumptions about your character.
Twitter and similar services are primarily used by narcisists that believe they’re right in all matters.
Did it once that loser bought the platform. I use Bluesky.
I never had one, but I can see one single reason to keep it: Help pull over people to Fediverse.
There are tons of good reasons to quit Xitter. Everyone should get on that.
That said, drawing a sexualized image of a fictional child is not child abuse, even if a machine does it. It lack the whole, you know, child being abused part that is kinda central to child abuse. Kind of like how South Park depicting Kristi Noem shooting a dog basically every time she appears on screen last season did not constitute numerous cases of animal abuse for either the South Park guys or Kristi Noem.
Now, if it’s editing pictures of actual children to sexualize them publicly, shouldn’t that also fall under revenge porn in addition to being child abuse? Time for at least a civil suit in that case, I hope.
Yeah see that’s cool, everyone’s entitled to their opinion. My opinion is that anything that normalizes the sexualization of children should be shamed and shunned.
What the fuck?
Fictional child pornography is still child pornography. This is not just about abuse.
Twitter having a tool to create child pornography is an excellent of reason to quit Twitter.
What was it trained on, though?
Even if what it produces is “not technically child abuse”, it was trained on how to make pretend child abuse, emulating what it has already seen. It uses previous child abuse as a guide to make stuff. It may also mix and match the real child abuse to make pretend child abuse. There might be real abused children in those images.
That’s bad, right?
A computer program trained off millions of pictures of people that the program’s parent company acquired by hook or by crook and now any photo you posted of your kids is fair game to be recycled into the most heinous shit imaginable at the press of a button by the kind of slug still using Twitter. There is abuse happening there, when they decided to build a machine that could take family photos put online by wellmeaning people and statistically morph them ship-of-Theseus style into pornography with no safeguards.
If I were a parent and even theoretically one pixel of hair on my child’s head were used as aggregate data for this mathematic new form of abuse by proxy, I’d be old testament mad. I would liken it to a kind of theft or even rape that we have no clear word for or legal concept of yet.
I would suggest just not defending this stuff in any way because you’re simply going to lose, or from your perspective, be dogpiled by people having what you perceive to be an extreme moral panic over this issue.
Okay then, pedo John, thanks for the info
Already did. Years ago.
Never had one, because it always sucked.
Idk why not using hell sites is so hard for people.
Never had one.
Samezies
I tried Twitter back in the day (when it was still Twitter) and deleted it after a few days. I haven’t really seen a reason to go back and I absolutely don’t see one now.
I personally wouldn’t mind seeing grok temporarily banned until it’s verified that they have their shit AI image creation tool under control. I also hope that the result of this bull isn’t going to be that X is permabanned in large parts of the world since that would mean further monopolizing social media to Zuckerberg alone. Any shred of competition has to be better than a total monopoly.
What if we start referring to 𝕏 as “that child porn site” in a mainly neutral tone? Would that normalize it? I’d hope it would make people look inwards, but idk if 𝕏philes in 2026 have that capacity.
What’s X? Did you mean Twitter?
Be me: never had account, never saw why would one want to have it
You don’t like screaming your opinion out into the void?

Lest be honnest 30 second. Nothing is equivalent to twitter at the time. While i love the fediverse it doesnt have the massive userbase that make it great. It s really funny that you tried to frame it as a social media with built in child abuse tool. Pretty sure child dont have the right to create an account on it and it doesnt have the same effect as instagram has on child. Also totally agree thta making his dumb bot with this capability was stupid but let s be honest, in every way you can do that on any other platform, and i feel it learned at least some numeric hygiene to some ppl.
So in summation, Nazi outlets are popular, so meh. And allowing the creation of AI child porn is simply “stupid”.
im pretty sure you’r free to go there and start posting comunist propaganda so idk why make you qualify it as nazy outlet. And the bot having the capability to modify picture, on what social network can’t i dl the picture and do the same ? From what i saw gemini also did it
Allowing Nazi ideology and having a CEO that publicly gave a clear Nazi salute twice would be two indications. In fact no other evidence could overcome either of those two things.
Also no one here is saying social media isn’t cancer, particularly corporate social media with ai bullshit.
Did you forget that you’re writing this on a platform where most people are anti-corporate, leftist, linux-using ai-haters?

nop, but that doesnt justify dishonesty in my book
… You tried to say you’re arguing with a hypocrite who doesn’t care about ai tools being abused on other platforms but that’s an intentional lie and I just demonstrated it. Some vague bullshit about “dishonesty” makes you look worse, not better.
You tried to say you’re arguing with a hypocrite
Nop, i say that the idea that x was a pedophile social newtork was hypocrite. I didnt qualify you as such. And i stand on that.
who doesn’t care about ai tools being abused on other platforms but that’s an intentional lie
I dont see how that 's an intentional lie. All i said was it was hypocrite to say that only applie to x and nop other social network
So don’t mistake this for me thinking you’re here in good faith at all. You’re not. You’re intentionally spreading lies.
But it’s okay that you aren’t fluent in English as long as you don’t insist on spreading toxic lies in broken English. But you are doing that. So fucking stop it. Unless it’s also part of the act, you cannot even express a coherent thought. A typo or missing word in every sentence. I’m not playing “guess what the Nazi means”.
From what i saw gemini also did it.
Citation?

I understand that some LLM’s have this capability.
I thought you were comparing two similar things, like Gemini was integrated with another social media platform somewhere providing the same, easily accessible, integrated means of creating these kinds of images.
Seems that it’s just vague whattaboutism on your part.
I agree with you that there is currently nothing equivalent to Twitter. Especially in terms of the number of Russian and other foreign government trolls, the glorification of fascist efforts, and the number of inactive accounts.
Also agree that fediverse currently lacks the massive user base to be the best alternative at this moment.
Twitter was awesome 10 years ago. Current Bluesky is pretty much the twitter before it became an uncool fascist troll shithole, and it does have quite a user base. Hence, for now it’s the best alternative imho. Presumably not until eternity, but for now it is.
bluesky has a dying userbase that s like 5% of twitter user. i do agree twitter had a nosedive with monetisation change
remove the algoslop , X is really good.

How else are you supposed to warm them up if the FBI drops by and you want a quick hot treat for your visitors? Thermite charges are too likely to involve collateral damage.

In case someone thinks “Oh, he’s just an alt-right troll, he doesn’t actually believe in that stuff”, meet Elon’s grandfather:
He became involved in Canadian politics, backing the technocracy movement, before moving to South Africa in 1950. Over the course of decades, Haldeman repeatedly expressed racist, antisemitic, and antidemocratic views.[1] In South Africa he was a supporter of apartheid and promoted a number of conspiracy theories.
He also supported Technocracy, Inc and the Technate of America https://bostonraremaps.com/inventory/technocracy-inc-technate-of-america-1940/
This in turn would necessitate the abandonment of democracy and the embrace of a technocracy—government by an unelected, technically skilled, empirically-driven elite with the expertise necessary to determine values and make rational resource-allocation decisions
Sounds a lot like one of Elon’s beliefs, doesn’t it?
Strange how people who think this way never assume they’ll be one of the people on the outside, letting others make the important decisions. Whenever there’s an elite, they imagine they’ll be part of that elite.
“Won’t somebody think of the children?!” “Wait, no! Not like that!”
