I find the nazis fascinating for their ability to co-opt symbols like the swastika. Could you imagine that happening today? Taking, for instance, the peace sign, punisher symbol, or Gadsden flag and turning them into quiet hate symbols?
Machinist@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wait, what did they do to the peace sign? Also, what about the hand signal?

Any symbol they would have chosen would have ended up as the Nazi symbol. Just like the name Hitler or that specific mustache style.
But the swastika specifically ending as the Nazi symbol you can mostly thank to Heinrich Schliemann and Émile-Louis Burnouf finding swastika adorned pottery at a Troy excavation in the 1870’s, and declaring them to be the ancient symbols of the Aryans.

The cross/crucifix is quickly becoming a hate symbol. (If it wasn’t already)

The whole site has been in disrepair for the past 3 years, and with all the breaches and issues lately, this downtime included, is the result.
If it makes you guys feel even better, just know that such failure to maintain software for so long, mostly complex and widely used like Xitter, means that it won’t get fixed easily at all. The knots are everywhere and will require even more time to untangle. Musk destroys everything he touches and I am at least happy about “this” one.

Oh, no. What a tragedy! Call Trump. Send cavalry. Hide kids! Twitter is down!!!
Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Musk will arrive on site any time now, and fix all of it with his chainsaw.
He just needs his meds first.

Who even uses this scumbags platform
Yttra@lemmy.world 2 months ago
“But I only use twitter for ‘art’”, or “I just follow a few small communities” are the usual excuses these days.
I hear the same excuses as I did for Reddit, only I’d consider Twitter usage considerably less defensible :)

Scumbag owned platform for scumbags.

xAI bought X right? So maybe they can run it on all of those servers xAI is illegally powering with unapproved generators.

Tens is thousands of users? Or tens of thousands of bots?

He did the DOGE on his twitter minions.

Geez, who would have thunk that a complex system needs to be maintained constantly… apparently not Elmo.

honestly i think this is way overdue seeing how elon gutted the twitter team.
cmlael67@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That would explain the uptick in idiocy on Threads.

I’d shed a tear if I gave a chit
FelixCress@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Oh gosh, I am so sorry, nevermind.

I think that’s what ill call it now
“The website formally known as Twitter”

Why are there still 10s of any users on that hellwash of a platform?

Sweaty, stank-ass armpit if the internet. In a trench, doused in gasoline and set ablaze is the only outcome I will accept.
