One problem with discussing this is that we here arguably have an asymmetric discourse situation.
"I’d like to tell you my thoughts on these various eugenicists, but they would be repulsive, fedposts, impossible to convey accurately in public discourse.
Wow, the commenters seem surprisingly…not ok with the guest choices. Especially Hannania
He also wants us to know that Hannania is much less right than he’s made out to be.. Richard gave him a signal boost and is cool with gay people! Unfortunately, Tracey hasn’t grasped that “right winger” is simply a metonym for “thinks blacks are the second least domesticable African animal after zebras”
Very late, but for the love of God, make sure you raise your black child with enough respect for themselves and their race that they’ll avoid debating twitter racists. Make sure your router drops requests to 4chan.org! Disable DNS over HTTPS on their devices! Run all their traffic through a proxy, MitM every request for an image and have a chat with them if you start seeing a lot of pfp sized pictures of roman statues. You need your kid to avoid these people the way they should avoid a hot stove.
What do normal people - people who don’t pay for twitter, or sneer at rationalists - think of Twitter atp?

And I’m like okay, that has to be “happy birthday, right?”. Nah, her third retweet is creamy porno redux.
Just like all the other right wingers and embarrassingly enthusiastic neoliberals and occasional Musk fans, I don’t follow her or anybody that follows her, there’s literally no connection or personal interest.
I feel like the post Elon shift is really understated for how bad the site’s gotten. Like I see more people talk about how Instagram reels is racist than I do about the average twitter replies section. I know a lot of left leaning people fled for bluer pastures, but I’m surprised you don’t see more buzz about it from regular, non-power users.
