   The rate limiting incident in Twitter isn't really what pushed me over to use Mastodon more and more. Currently there is a hashtag on Twitter related to the French riots that's calling on the expulsion of all Muslim, African, and Arab immigrants from the entirety of Europe. The trending hashtag (at #2) is filled with images encouraging mass killings and lynchings of Arabs. There is no come back from this.

     @heidykhlaaf Things have gotten worse with Musk, but they have been pretty bad long before him. I have an article about the images of mutilated dead bodies of #Kurdish guerrilla militants on #Twitter and the dehumanizing comments made to these photos in 2015. Most of these tweets still existed last time I checked, which was in 2023.

     Also sharing the article in case someone is interested in the findings: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1750635220925844
