My pleasure.

You are welcome.

In the original interview, she makes it clear that there several incidents and that the AI images she got were the last straw which convinced her to delete Twitter.

Yeah, if anyone needed a clear sign where exTwitter's journey was going, that was it. It's the nazi bar now and people should not hang out there anymore.

Yeah, it's way overdue to delete Twitter, but I also know far too many people who cling to it, providing one specious justification or another. I really don't know what still needs to happen in order for left-ish/progressive/queer/... people to finally get off of Twitter.

Additionally to what has already been mentioned: People are susceptible to politics that confirm their prejudices. Right-wing political thought is largely based on confirming that whatever prejudices people hold, they are morally good and justified. Thus elevating an in-group above out-groups. That is a powerful lure.

Incompatibilities between hardware and software caused data corruption. This resulted in hangups and increasingly frequent crashes. It was necessary to download a new gender, which is currently being installed.

I am not entirely sure, but it's either the Aurora Flopsie or Cabela's Giant Red Fox.

It's Krafton, Tencent owns a minority stake of that one.

"Free speech" has always been a right-wing dog whistle. It has nothing to do with anyone's legal right, it's a means to claim victimhood and justify attacking others as "defense".

Sure, but the damage is done. A major US newspaper giving credence to the lies is a win for the people spreading hate, whether there is a retraction or not. It's not about facts after all.

But I think it’s possible he is an unthinking and arrogant man who would simply shrug at what happened on his platform

Dog dammit, liberal pundits, stop effing white-washing Musk and his beliefs. He is a fascist. Don't make effing excuses for him when the guy is pining for a civil war.
