I always get confused in this thought. So if govt bans twitter(hypothesis) and these people spread to other better places, will they improve or is it better to leave these vile beings among themselves to rot in their twitter or whatever.
The problem is they took a healthy user base and injected hate speech into it. People thinking they need to preserve the space didn’t get the message that they need to get out, so now elon is free to subjugate them. Now you have multiple entrenched sides that will erode at each other’s goodwill until it blossoms into contempt and the cycle of human suffering continues.
At the same time other platforms can’t thrive because they are overshadowed by the suffering machine.
Actually, in my opinion, Xitter is the worst social media app for society, not just LGBTQ+ people.
“This thing that is terrible for everyone is also terrible for this specific subset of everyone …”

Umm, does that include Lemmy?

depends if you think anonymous interactions are as impactful as people you actually know.
oh god, is this actually worse?
Message boards aren’t social media.
That’s good, that means my use is healthy

A lot of these hateful beliefs are reinforced by these people’s filter bubbles. Forcing them to other places can improve the overall situation.
