> someone chimes in about how much better the conversations/etc are on Twitter since Musk took over

I always assume these types of comments are some kind of dog whistle

[Zigurd]

The "It's better now" comments are always of the same form, and never any examples of some great discussion. That's lazy, even for a bot.

> to whom and why

To the Nazis that were kicked off or fled when Twitter had decent moderation to let them know Nazi conversations are flowing like wine and they're welcome back.

[nothercastle]

Lots of nazis these days from all corners of the world. Fuckers are back with a vengeance

[nomel]

I think the largest increase in Nazis is due to the complete, and rather disgusting, misuse of the word.

[refulgentis]

Rephrasing for people who will react negatively to that. You're making an important point but "dog whistle" assumes some things:

Those are people speaking abstractly about how much more free their speech is*.

I've never heard that common phrasing used, in any setting, to refer to a change in Twitter user makeup, or it becoming a kinder place. Whether I'm in the company of team left or team right, and coding as same team or opposite team.

* yr humble author refuses comment and does not endorse this viewpoint, or that anything changed on this front

To whome and why?

[lp0_on_fire]

As opposed to the “twitter was so wonderful before Musk and now it’s a wasteland”?

Please. It’s always been a wasteland.
