I bring up an Islamist attack in Berlin and you respond with right-wing nazi violence this that. We won't see eye to eye.

"They don't call you a Nazi because you are one, they call you a Nazi to silence you."



We were discussing right-wing death threats on X, and you tried to distract by bringing up something else, somewhere else.

You are free to continue condoning nazi death threats towards minorities on twitter since elmu started allowing it, but it has nonetheless made twitter worse and more toxic. Whatever you personally think about whatever drama on whatever other social network is irrelevant to that.


I am a minority. My point is relevant. You've misrepresented Twitter and people who use it. I don't use Twitter. It's not a crime to want to discuss things openly.


You and I being minorities is not relevant to whether the elmu-condoned nazi death threats on twitter have made it more or less toxic than it was before.

What some other random social media site did or does is not relevant to whether the elmu-condoned nazi death threats on twitter have made it more or less toxic than it was before.

Do you personally believe that nazi death threats are toxic? You can be honest.


It's ok to think it differently and have different opinions. You just happen to value censorship more than free speech. This is ok, don't feel sorry, but try also to understand that other people might value different things.

If you think a post is so bad to be illegal you have means to deal with that outside the platform. Just remember that on internet you will find everyone, from 12 years old kids, to older people coming from different cultures, or more simply, trolls...

You have your opinions, but that doesn't mean they are objectively correct. Also, if you are offended, doesn't mean you are right.


hello brand new HN poster, you're adorable

let's be friends, I can be your first one here :)
