Answer: it is unethical to continue using it.
- Deleted my account a while ago. Haven't gone back.
- Facebook either, but billions still do
  
  Facebook *too
- You forgot Part A: Elon Musk did it.
How did X become so full of hatred
Ans: It is owned by a guy that’s full of hatred. Simply a reflection of him.
- It was always that way. Musk just took off the guardrails.
Remember when they cut to Rupert and Elon at the super bowl a year or so ago. When it's that in your face, woof. Great share, thanks!
- I think I missed that, but I can sure believe it.
It’s always been there and has always existed cuz that’s how people are. Moderation is the only thing that fends this stuff off. Have you guys never looked through the Lemmy modlog?
I have little sympathy for people like the author who knowing all this continue to give content to that site. And I don't care about their excuses.
If you don't like that the new owner has turned your favorite pub into a nazi bar then maybe you should stop spending your money there.
