This is so fucked up. Across various social media platforms you have genocidal Zionists loons saying what they want using #KillThemAll, but yet Palestinian voices are being silenced and ol Melon Husk bans the phrase “From the river to the sea…”.

Honestly if you look outside your comforts zone you’ll realise every genocidal maniacs have been hanging out on twitter since its creation. After the terror attack in France we had all the insane islamist praising the asshole, that’s nothing new

I agree banning that phrase seems hypocritical but what is wrong with calling for the killing of a militia that killed thousands of civilians? Wouldn’t this be like the killing of osama bin laden after 9/11? Didn’t they kill hundreds of young people at a music festival promoting peace? I’m aware there’s collateral but calling for a ceasefire to protect civilians is the only reason to suggest the killing stops when their enemy has openly stated it will not stop doing this ever. If they want change to their policy of genocide of isralies I’m sure that’s a good start to peace talks but so far I don’t think they have.

I think you’re confused. It is Israel committing genocide and have said they will never stop even after all the hostages are released.

No, I don’t think I am but may be. Are you saying hamas didn’t kill all those unarmed civilians and are you saying hamas has never stated they have a mandate to destroy the whole of Israel? Please just stick to those two questions and then make any points you want to add after. Thankyou

You know that this phrase means the end of illegal occupation, right?

It means different things to different people. There are definitely a few that use it with a genocidal intent. But as you said that he’s not it’s de facto or historical meaning. It has a much longer history than the last few months. Most people complaining about it only just learned of it. And have no idea about its history or what it actually tends to mean.

It’s both. If it didn’t have a plausible legitimate use, it wouldn’t work as a dog whistle.

Everybody has bad actors, and they serve to complicate what oughtn’t be complicated, including language.

Don’t mind them. They probably felt uncomfortable hearing “Black Lives Matter” too. Saying it’s a call for genocide for white people.

Yes, and the end of those “illegal occupiers” too.

Both sides want to genocide each other, it’s just that Israel is more powerful and Palestine is the underdog

I’m not going to twitter to see but are they still using the little blue bird? I thought everything was X now.

They reference Twitter all over their own site. The site is still Twitter.com. Here’s their page for advertisers.

Kinda related question. Is there a way to get the blue bird back? Like a chrome extension or something like that

You could. I don’t know that it exists. Just don’t go to the site though. What’s so hard?

They really should adopt Xitter as a transition nickname. Bonus: it actually suits theplatform the most.

Musk fired most of the moderators, and those messages are being sent automatically after a certain time period. I did an experiment before - searched for phrases like “death to nationality” and “kill all nationality”, with various nationalities, and reported a dozen each to check if there is any bias: There isn’t, all of them were ignored. I believe any moderators left, if there are still any, work by the queue of most reported first, and the top of the queue is most likely filled with brigaded reports from right wing trolls.

If you don’t use specific keywords, there’s essentially no moderation on Twitter right now. All of their moderation is via keyword.
