    “Persistent spike” isn’t a spike. That’s the status quo.

    Isn’t a “persistent spike” just an increase?

      100%! I’m sure you’re not using it but if you have friends/family still on there urge them to quit using Twitter.

        No one I personally know uses it. I quit the moment he bought Twitter.

          That’s excellent! Hopefully there will be more and more people who don’t know anyone who uses Twitter.

        I don’t really hear many talk about social media. But that’s because I don’t go on anything but this. I definitely don’t talk about it in every day conversation either.

    Then it’s not a spike, it’s a trend. Created by, mostly (hopefully) bots, there to move the overton window and normalise racism and hyper-regressive world views to divide the working class while the rich use us as Cannon fodder for their genocide against our fellow working class. Wankers.

    So if you do nothing to prevent a problem, and In fact, actively encourage the problem, it gets worse?

    Somehow, the most reasonable account on Vichy Twitter is Grok because it’s hard to train an LLM using only data dumbasses wrote.

      Sadly that’s going to change. Musk is going to push an update that I suspect will turn Grok into a far-right disinformation parrot or become closer to that. See https://lemm.ee/post/67429541 and https://lemm.ee/post/67216433
