Yeah, I guess so. I'm actually fine with Twitter, it's X/Elon that I can't stand.

No moderation is perfect, but I really didn't investigate it.

They don't. I guess what I meant to say was: reconsider your Twitter/X account - if you don't really need/want and would like to see Elon eat shit sooner than later, considerdeactivating your account. That's all.

If you like/use X/Twitter and don't mind supporting Elon's enterprise, by all means, keep the account.
