Some wars can’t be won. It can be hard to come to terms with this fact when you’re still on the battlefield, but if somehow you manage to step out for a moment, then the truth will become obvious. You have lost, the people on your side have lost, the villains have won and, if anything, you should have run away a long time ago.
Oh I thought it was Grok spreading lies that was the final straw, and before that the fascism, and before that it was the manipulative algorithms promoting racist views, and before that it was lack of oversight to keep content legal.
But OK let’s say it’¨s the illegal AI generated sexual abuse. Which by the way are clearly illegal in Denmark, not because of nudity, but because it is illegal to exploit the likeness of a real person.But by my count this is at least the fifth final straw.
I’m pretty sure the author is well aware of this. It’s a good piece because it comes across as honest and takes a look at the psychological causes why so many people are still active on X. An honest look at yourself is the first step to free yourself from denial, and it doesn’t really matter how long it takes and how many bad things have to happen if they get it eventually and take action.
The finalest straw!
Some see it like this for sure is the last one.
meanwhile X-users:
Don’t forget Biden!
it pains me how many leftists are still on twitter after all this
i get that bluesky is too liberal, mastodon too complicated and technical, and tumblr has too much pointless discourse, but… surely, mecha-hitler generating csam on command is worse?
Wow, somehow I forgot all about Tumblr. For some reason, I thought they were absorbed into something else.
There were so many final straws. So many lines crossed. Zero chance this is “the” final straw…
If the Nazis weren’t too much for someone I doubt anything is too much for them.
Good luck, so many people won’t leave even still - “it’s where all the people are, I need to reach people, yadda yadda”.
Yep so many people say this. Well their supporting this stuff.
