    I’m a moderate. I tend to take a lot of what I read online with a grain of salt (as everyone should, but you know how that goes).

    A few months ago I decided to try X again and see for myself. I thought “what if this is just exaggerated hysterics, and the site really isn’t that bad.”

    No. It’s not exaggerated. It’s not hysterics. X / Twitter really is that bad of a dumpster fire. You can say “I don’t like Nazis” and a billion bots will accuse you of being a woke radical leftist.

    Sold my well-aged account to a scammer, haven’t looked back.

      So you hate what’s happening but you contribute to the issue in exchange for money?
      Is that moderate?

        Caring only about their personal comfort and feeling smugly superior to anyone on a “side” is the essence of the modern moderate. They’ll miss society crumbling around them because their heads are too far up their own asses.
