    Panel 1: Bartender says "No, we're not a Nazi bar." Panel 2: "We just didn't ban Nazis. Then all the Nazis started coming here because nobody else would allow them." Panel 3: Now they're our best customers and nobody that isn't a Nazi wants to drink here." Panel 4: Bar exterior with 'X' logo signpost with a blue Twitter logo banner on the second floor reading: "(Formerly) twitter". Bottom right watermark: Patreon logo; Instagram logo; @mygumsarebleeding

    Just putting this here for better accessibility.

    Still a fair amount of people who know X is a nazi bar but still use it.

    • X is too popular / addictive
    • Alternatives are considered non-viable on a recommendation and feed algorithm basis
    • There are ideological barriers to alternatives. (Lemmy is an example)

    Well, it also doesn’t help that the new owner throws nazi salutes on television.

    Half the seats at the bar are filled with mannequins, but that makes the bar feel crowded, like it’s still the happenin’ spot. That convinces a lot of brands, celebrities, politicians and journalists that they still need to keep making appearances at the bar.

      And then one of the mannequins glides towards you and starts telling you about they just love th3 delicious taste of an ice cold Coca ColaTM and accept no substitutes.

        Suddenly, in sync, a lot of the “people” in the bar say in unison “As a strong black woman, I think president Trump is right about…”

      Put your thinking caps on everyone! What could the owner of the website formerly known as Twitter be doing in this photo. 🤔

        He did two Nazi salutes in front of the whole country. I don’t think there’s any doubt that he’s a Nazi.

          That particular person in here knows, because even if they didn’t before (doubtful) they were told, and then said they didn’t care because they’re “separating the art from the artist”.

      I mean, governments posting updates where people can see isn’t some mystery. Twitter still has a huge userbase

      I know an AI guy who still uses Xitter. I asked him why he doesn’t use Mastodon or Bluesky. He says he tried Bluesky, but there’s no AI content there. The AI people tried to move to Bluesky, but they got bullied off the website because people hate AI.

        Huh, before I deactivated my Bluesky account, I’d still see AI slop content slip through my filter on the rare occasion.

      I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”

      And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

      Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”

      And i was like, ohok and he continues.

      "you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

      And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

      And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

      And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.
