I mean, what would you expect, when a lot of people defending the chief Xeet and his antics tend to literally chase people off the platform with Xeets like “And yet you’re still here” and “Yeah, go away, nothing of value would be lost”. Yep, the kind of crowd that adores Musk and buys his silly checkmarks (making them inescapable in the discussion) is pretty toxic. Of course, the effect is additive with the new “moderation” style, Musk’s dog whistles and so on. One of my favorite TV shows had this running saying: “You set the tone”. With a social media, it appears, the tone can’t be hidden behind non-disclosures, fan obsession and physics setting the boundaries.
