As opposed to extremely dishonest far-right grifters like Twitter is now?
No worries friend, many of these signups are us on the right going to troll. We don’t plan to support it for long.
What?
False dichotomy doesn’t bring anything to the conversation. However it it true that the far left is the main motivated to quit X, and the progressive views Silicon Valley were also dominant on HN.

Just something to accept and think about. Do not blame the messenger.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say.
Both extremes on the left and right have their own 'extremely dishonest grifters' and that issue is not exclusive to Twitter / X.
Nope. The Left simply does not have anywhere near the same number of grifters as the right. There simply is no equivalent of Alex Jones on the left.
The far-right thinks the far-left is dishonest and vice versa. They're both correct. It's all so tiresome.
Nope. What is tiresome is constantly seeing how much the right lies and then lies about how much they lie. Trump told over 30,000 lies while President the FIRST time and still got re-elected.
Do you sincerely think the left doesn't lie also?
Not NEARLY as much as the right. Lying on the right has become an entire industry.

Oh, and this "everyone lies all the time so we can't know what is true" is a very Russian narrative called The Firehose of Falshoods.

Whichever side you think lies the most depends on which echo chamber you spend time in. I can think of numerous lies from the left. The Biden laptop thing, Trump said he wants to off Liz Cheney, the fine people thing, etc. If you think one side monopolizes lying you are lost.
With the Dang moderation? And PGs vision?

Can't wait to join!

And what is PG’s vision?
