Holy hell the twitter exodus is **still** accelerating. The influx of new users is up about 33% from yesterday, our biggest day so far. We are now seeing over 1,300 new users every day on QOTO!
@state@freemo I have no hate for the guy, but putting Kanye back on after his antisemitic comments was a bridge to far for me. I had honestly hoped he would improve moderation, but that alone showed he was going to go the wrong way.
@JonKramer@freemo While I in no way condone antisemitism, sometimes I wonder if actually *not* straight up banning all sorts of knuckleheads would be better in the long run, at least to break up their echo chambers. Also, after watching Kanye talking to Lex Fridman I actually felt bad for the guy. How somebody so dumb can be so famous is beyond me.
@state@freemo you have a point, but some things cross lines. Bigotry is one of those things. You shouldn't get a seat at the table. Find an echo chamber, and stay there.
As for his mental issues, ya, he has them, obviously. But that doesn't give him a pass to be a monster.
