When X (formerly Twitter) launched paid subscription verification, Mistress Rouge, a professional dominatrix, hoped that it would help her advertise to Sex workers bought Twitter Blue in hopes that it would protect them from being shadowbanned and deplatformed. Under X's new nudity policy, they're being censored anyway.

    Porn and adult content was one of the hold outs on Xitter. If they’re going after that now, usage and users are going to tank again. If they keep this up, eventually the only thing that will be left on Xitter will be right wing assholes, white nationalist, and fascists.

      Pretty sure that’s the end result they’re hoping for.

        Parler shutdown this year. I guess Elmo didn’t get the memo on what does and doesn’t work for a social media website.

      For some reason I read Xitter as Xitler… Time to take medications.

      I’ve said this about all the right wing social networks. Right wingers want to be on a platform where they can spread hate and bully people, no one else wants to be on that platform, leaving the right wing no one to bully, rendering the platform useless to them.
