The platform will likely get blocked within the EU quite soon if it stays this way. After a devastating report about misinformation, they loosened oversight even more, meaning it actively does not conform to EU regulations (regarding hate speech for example) anymore. Facebook has already received hefty fines for less so I honestly don't expect Xitter to be around much longer.

Is Xitter to be pronounced "shitter"?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

Yes and posts are pronounced “x-criments” instead of tweets now
