Twitter going to plan...

Well that's horrifying...

Then again I've always assumed Elon was an antisemite, he's dogwhistled it a few times. The fact he so openly made Twitter a breeding ground for antisemites just confirms it for me.

But of course when you point it out to stupid neolibs they just scream "HE PROTECC FREE SPEECH" because they refuse to think critically

(Edit: I should say however that this is regardless horrifying)

This poll is likely very skewed because anyone who bothers to respond is probably doing so because they have a (hate) agenda. The text of the first question could probably have been replaced with “I want to say I am a christian fascist without saying it out loud” and have the same outcome.

There is selection bias probably as well. Those who see the poll are selected in particular way.

Yes, very good point. Selection bias will likely skew any twitter “poll” because the algorithms feed the polls only to what the algorithm believes is the target audience. It’s perpetuating polarization and even extremism because people don’t see rational opposing views that are part of a healthy conversation.

Right like the people who follow these scum bags, but even still this result on a major social media site is a sight I never thought I’d see

Well, yeah. Unless, 56% of my friends and colleagues are Nazi sympathisers. Shit. They've hidden it well.

Yeah as much as I hate Elon and Twitter and do in fact think it's a far right cesspool, Twitter polls are not to be trusted even if they confirm your pre-existing views.

Y'all massively underestimate the amount of trolls who will just pick whatever answer they think is the edgiest. Stop taking shit like this at face value.

You become what you pretend to be. You can't pretend to be a piece of shit on the internet without embracing the shit.

You may underestimate how close a "joke" answer is to their real answer.

Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Rules:

  • Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
  • Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
  • Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
  • No brocialism/sexism
  • No ableism
  • No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
  • No racism
  • No trolling
  • No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
  • No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
  • Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

  • Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
  • Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
  • Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
  • Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
  • Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
  • Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
  • Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends
