That's just not true. My mate uses it to follow music bands they like. The problem we have with X is that everybody uses it so you have to use it you wanna stay in the loop. I don't use I myself but i can understand why people still do.

Ooohh if it's for MUSIC I guess it's OK to be a fascist.
But you know the bands go where teir followers are right? And he is supporting bands that ALSO don't have a problem with fascism.
It goes both ways.

People were already on twitter before some right wing weirdo bought it. They just kept using it because the reality is normies don't know better or don't care. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but saying every X user is a fascist seams an oversimplification.

That's a straw man, nobody I saw here claimed that. The claim is that they don't mind fascism. Which is not the same.
You can take a country with only 10%, if the remaining 90% remain passive. Staying at Xitter is remaining passive about their fascist propaganda.

What if a band had very vocal Nazi beliefs even lyrically, would you still like them because the music was good? Lol that is you.

I don't see how that's relevant to be honest. Twitter users didn't choose for Musk to be in charge, and I'm sure a lot remaining users hate him.

Lol that is you

I said I don't use twitter, what's your point ?

You know what you have if you sit at a table with 10 Nazis? 11 Nazis.
