> I don't know if hate speech has increased or not since Musk acquisition to be honest

It has, feel free to educate yourself.

> I rarely see a constructive discussion around him here on HN at least, it's straight hate (aka Hate speech).

This is not what hate speech means in the common usage of the term.

> I really don't see it that way

I'm sorry, but it's the truth.

> it's literally the same example as the Gay Bar

If it was a gay supremacy bar where everyone hung out to talk about exterminating anyone who isn't gay, then it would be the same. Otherwise, it is very, very different.

> Are you a criminal if you listen to "criminal" music?

I'm not sure what criminal music is, but probably not.

> Are you muslim if you read extensively the Quran?

Nope, not necessarily.

But if you regularly hang out at the Nazi bar, you are a Nazi. The problem is the paradox of tolerance; views such as Nazism that attempt to violently suppress those based on, for example, their genetic or ethnic characteristics cannot be tolerated, under any circumstances. We (the world) fought a whole war about this approximately 80 years ago, and I would prefer not to have to learn that lesson through warfare again.

Literally I'm not even remotely participating in this kind of content nor anyone I personally know, so how can it be "the truth"? Literally a TON of arab users on it, that doesn't make sense :/

Is there really anyone on X saying that kind of extreme statements? Do you have any source to back it up as in anyone that thrown statements that bad (extermination and such)? Except when accidentally stumbling on terro forums or this kind of garbage when using Tor or whatever, I've never encounter stuff like that on X, I mean you would be genuinely actively seeking it to find that, it's also available on Google, Mastodon and so-on if you look for it of course as the web is vast.

Whether or not you're seeing posts from racists doesn't change the purpose of the site. One of the purposes of the site, as stated directly by its owner, has been to spread more right wing viewpoints. Many of those viewpoints have turned out to be extreme and violent, and the owner of the site has plainly stated that he will not remove those viewpoints.

You're welcome to do your own research to establish any of the above. When I say "Twitter is the Nazi bar" I'm not basing it on what I see (I, of course, don't have a Twitter account), but on what the site's owner has stated and what has borne out to be true based on research.

Real people, innocent of any wrongdoing, are being harmed by views being spread on sites like Twitter, and the people running the site condone it. If you care about that, the moral action to take is to stop using it. You are also welcome to not care, but implicit in that decision is that you also don't care about those real people being harmed.
