@germ Something that's been a surprise to me in watching the dumpster fire of Elon's ownership, and the folks cheering him on, is just how obsessed and weirdly mad about the previous verification system they all are. There's a ton of weird conspiratorial thinking associated with this, like the "shadowbanning" bullshit and whining about not being able to say slurs, etc etc. Aside from just being a business idiot, Musk clearly bought into much if not all of that madness.
