💔 Some reflections on what Twitter was, what it is now, and why I think I'm done (and it's ok to feel sad about it)

Here for this response.
None of us is obliged to waste our time on this earth replying to people on Twitter. Ignore, tell them to do one, share a picture of a cat, you do you.

I’m afraid every time I engage with you and your disingenuous misrepresentation of my comments, I get flooded with racist accounts in my mentions. So I’m going to decline. Go and find another high profile account to troll for your grift.

There’s a lot of this performative stupidity on display at present.
People who plead *guilty* to violent disorder at their first appearance can be sentenced quickly.
People who have *not been convicted* cannot be sentenced. For anything. Because they are still not guilty.

Question to the Crown Prosecution Service and @YvetteCooperMP why,if some involved in violent crimes at the weekend have already been charged,appeared in court and been sentenced can the man who killed the Southport children not be dealt with as quickly.?
Community note
The rioters pleaded guilty & therefore can be sentenced. People have to be convicted before they can be sentenced. Axel Rudakubana has not entered or indicated a plea, so a trial date has been set. He had been remanded into custody, pending trial.

As I said the other day: the FarRightThugsUnite hashtag was a bizarre collection of actual racists, bots, and useful idiots taken in by the previous two categories.
What is absolutely was not was a genuine reflection of ordinary people with valid concerns.
7 Aug 2024
Exclusive:
*UK authorities suspect foreign state actors used bots and fake accounts to amplify the FarRightThugsUnite hashtag and other posts on X
*Russians also seen bragging about infiltrating far-right UK Telegram channels

i think what we've discovered tonight is that Farage has been lying.
britain doesn't actually agree with him.
he doesn't 'have a point'.
could we stop putting him on the tv now?
since he basically only represents a fringe that have fallen for his lies.

Home from a phone-free dinner and cheered by the news reports that the good folk far outnumbered the bad ones at the planned protests in the UK tonight.
Racists try and convince themselves they’re a silent majority when they’re far from it.

“Why has a person who pleaded guilty been handed a sentence while those who have not, not?” ask a string of idiots in the replies who struggle to grasp the concept of police doing a job to secure successful prosecution.

This is the swift action we’re taking.
If you provoke violent disorder on our streets or online, you will face the full force of the law.

The ‘for you’ tab on here is now just a bin fire of right wing shills that I do not follow and do not want to read.
Elon Musk accused Twitter’s leadership of tipping the scales politically. But now he’s doing just that with X. wired.trib.al/J32jxK0

In which that guy admits that not only does he shitpost for money, but he’s willing to trash his career, reputation, friendships and relationship with his kids for less than the minimum wage.

With the latest antics from the proprietor I’m finding it ever harder to justify being on here.
But none of the ersatz Twitters are yet filling the gap. Connect with me on any of them and I’ll make an effort to be more active.

You can laugh at how thick this take is (and it is) but it does point to a broader problem. Neighbourhoods *are* changing - eg fewer pubs - and it’s all too easy for agitators to say this change is because of immigrants (and not, say, developers turning them into flats).
5 Aug 2024
Apparently, it ain’t England anymore because—and I quote—there used to be pubs everywhere and betting shops everywhere.

Exactly that. But too many politicians and media commentators have found it convenient to ride the grievance wave rather than tell people like this that changing high streets is little to do with immigration and everything to do with British people's own economic choices.

In short: we've been too kind to idiots like this for too long, acting like they have a point rather than looking for someone to blame.

Hi, I'm a former Facebook Messenger engineer and led the team that put the first version of end-to-end encryption into Messenger.
Short version: encryption is great but it doesn't protect you against being or hanging out with stupid people:

Brexit was an obvious consequence of this, and should have been a turning point. But it wasn't. Instead commentators have continued to hint the decline of the UK's public services is down to immigrants rather than be honest with the public about its causes.

Here’s a an example from supposedly respectable @toryboypierce
People “feel” their homes have been taken by immigrants. But council homes are more likely to have been lost due to RTB. If what people feel is simply wrong then we need to stop pandering to it.

Andrew Pierce, "It's not just the far right.. Some communities feel their jobs have been taken.. Their homes have been taken.. There's too much pressure on school places.. That's not the far right telling them that.. It's what they see and what they feel.. And the government ignore this at their peril"
