The Moral Case for No Longer Engaging With Elon Musk’s X::The former Twitter is incentivizing violent content, which will only become worse to stand out to users.

I don’t think so. Racism being self perpetuating means it will exist even if we stop talking about it and will probably just be worse because even well meaning folk can be racist if they’re not aware of it.
X on the other hand stops existing if we stop sending it traffic and just let it die.

Well, it seems like racism has unfortunately failed to go extinct so I’m not quite sure what you’re getting at there but I’m probably missing something.
I don’t think everyone has agreed not to use it? The more it gets talked about and spread the more people are drawn to the platform. Why do you think Musk has successfully made sure the site has been in the headlines constantly? I’m not saying we have to all stop talking about it and pretend it doesn’t exist. But maybe we don’t need multiple articles every day posted across multiple communities.
Anyway, doesn’t really matter what I think. It keeps getting posted and upvoted so I guess we’ll just have to live with it.

I mean sure, people aren’t drawn to it in a positive way but advertiser’s don’t really care how you’re drawn as long as you’re drawn.
As for the rest of your comment I’m not really sure how to respond to be honest. Doesn’t seem to relate to our conversation but good to get off your chest I guess.
Unlike systemic racism though this conversation isn’t self perpetuating so I’m going to peace out and let it die like I wish everyone would do with X.
Have a good one and might catch you around in the next post about X. We’re overdue for a new one by now I’m sure.
