Has hate speech really increased since Elon took over? I have read articles which suggest that it has increased, citing that usage of racial and homophobic slurs have increased, but is it because Twitter has become more popular and more people are Tweeting? Black Americans often use racial slurs. It's difficult to get objective data, because Musk haters will promote one narrative and his supporters another. And what is hate speech? I don't see any problem with hate. It's a perfectly healthy emotion. I hate paedophiles and murders. It's also questionable whether hate speech actually encourages acts of violence. |

I don't know, I've never used Twitter and have no plans to start. I would not be surprised though if people are trolling and testing to see what they can get away with. |

Uh, wouldn't you also be surprised if tons of people not liking Musk are trolling Twitter in an attempt to show how bad it has become and how free speech is dangerous? Judging how much "noise" this whole sh*t is making, it's not just likely, it's almost certain. I also wouldn't be surprised if large amounts of cash were currently invested for doing exactly that, trying to destroy Twitter until Musk gives in and sells it back. Seriously the amount of frenzy behind all this is mind-boggling. :palm: |

Would I be joking, if I said, Musk has now had beds, installed in some of the offices? A joke, surely? Must be a joke, right ..... https://www.theregister.com/2022/12/07/musk_twitter_offices/ |

Gets to be like mid-age kids, here. No buttons pushed, but some of the on-going, seemingly perpetual psyco-obsessions out there try my patience, (mildly). Ever here that story of the scared little kid, telling parents about the MONSTER looking shadow, there in the bedroom closet ? Every time, you might have seen, that experience gets more and more horrid...every time told: " It was, maybe 4 ft. tall, with 1 inch fangs..." and then, it's:. "...maybe 7 ft. tall, fangs 19 inches long" Then: " 10 ft. tall, 3 ft. FANGS, ...growled at me..." That's what I perceive, some of the dialog of the folks in public sphere, twitter, congress, etc. Then, we discuss those public figures here. Often kids do that, not expecting some public figure to communicate in that style. |
