@zleap leaves me speechless that this happens and so many are either unaware or shrug at this happening. Creates a lot of Internal tension about supporting that platform by using it, but at my own cost re losing useful professional contacts.

Sometimes morals and ethics HAS to trump everything.

This is why I am sharing,

If this was X we would not even be having this conversation as one or both of us would be banned probably.

It is complex

I understand why people need to stay on there, and how hard it is for them to leave.

People should not have to put up with the abuse on there.

Letting anti Islam racists on there just empowers others to impunity.

Meanwhile we h ave laws in the UK that require X to take action,

I think there is an issue for people who want to leave but can't due to number of followers who are not going to leave, despite what is going on.

@zleap It is never easy to quit an addiction. The dopamine-addicted human mind 🧠 will invent innumerable ‘reasons’ NOT to.

@ChemicalEyeGuy

I appreciate that, if you own a business and use social media, and you have customers on X is that an addiction, if you leave you potentially lose that customer base.

I am not sure if that is addiction or it is a case of being locked in to that system.

@zleap 'Potentially.'
