The owner censors non- nazis and promotes nazis and their messages 3. (Hence) most people who remain on X or are clueless and have difficulty parsing written text (one would assume), or are nazis 4. Most of the new followers we were getting were nazi-propaganda spewing bots (7 out of 10 on average) or just straight up nazis. Our community is not made up of nazis and many of our friendly contributors would be the target of nazi harassment, so we were not sure what we were doing there and stopped posting and left. We are happy with that decision and have no intention of reversing it.
