I hope they cease operations in more countries, including India. 😄 Xitter has become a raging dumpster-fire after the Elon takeover

It was a dumpster fire anyway, whats the difference.

It’s a very tilted dumpster fire now with no filter whatsoever.

Big W for Brazil. No downside to loosing completely bot manipulated platforms like Twitter (recently X). Hope it shuts down in India too.

Also Elon has the smallest dick energy ever. Ketamine has melted his brain.

The fact that you’re insecure about your own size shows you’re an idiot who doesn’t care about free speech. Please go cry somewhere else.

The fact that you just typed your entire rant in Hindi to establish my comprehension of English is bad just proves that you aren't capable to argue the slightest about anything more than commenting on a person.

We might be allies on some fronts but I wouldn't agree with your understanding of X (formerly Twitter) to the slightest.

Since you instantly judged and formed an opinion that I'm into Tate and Elon and take their class.

Here's my judgement of your mindset - Instagram lonely doom scroller who enjoys mindless stuff on stupid trends and loves to deny anything that goes on and about in reality, sounds right?

Also trigger? My darling I don't think you're educated enough to use such big words. Maybe use that with your therapist when you go and cry about how lonely you are.

You took the liberty to express your opinion so did I to express my views on your opinion. A little more tolerance would do good for you my child.

To all of you who’ve commented it’s a good move, I pity all your low tolerance of truth! X has proved over and over again that legacy media manipulates news is the favour which pays them the most. X is the only unbiased platform and its biggest example is the shenanigans happening in the us election. Just because the truth is something you can’t tolerate or approve of doesn’t mean you give up free speech.

I don't think human society will ever be ready for a completely transparent world. There is one essential truth to human thinking:

If there is an incentive for me to game the system, I will do it. If I don't have an incentive for doing good things, I will not do them.

X/Twitter and other media outlets also follow the same thing.
