The world is a classist and racist place, and no matter the systems of government we have, the evolutionary change the human race experiences, we'd never be able to get rid of racism and classicism.
This is because humans are intrinsically designed like this. A white rich person will always see themselves as "higher in class or race" to anyone who isn't like them.
When people argue on the internet for example most times they resort to race and financial status as a final clap back to whoever they're trying to tackle.
They check to see if this person is rich, and when they see that the person is not, they'll resort to broke-shaming that person.
On twitter for example, I've seen so many arguments and most times you see people resort to racism and feel good about it.
The internet is a very toxic place, people who say all sorts of things. It's like they project their pain, problems and frustration in the way they talk to other and don't even care.
Add more ban
For example, Twitter is contemplating adding a feature where users can block demographs, race and locations.
You can make a post and block any users from specific countries from seeing the replies or something like that. If I remember, Facebook actually rolled out something like this over 10 years ago.
They insinuated that it was for the good of folks who say in first world countries and basically 10 years later, Twitter is planning to also implement this. I wonder if this defeats the purpose of social platforms.
It's strange how a person can make the decision to join a social space while requesting for a feature that lets you ban specific countries and continents simply because you consider them "low value"
In the last 6 months, twitter has transformed from being the free speech platform to something else entirely. Before are scared of literally doing the thing they enjoy, scared of tweeting and actually having fun.
Think the only thing keeping it together is the monetisation thingy. The rules have suddenly changed for creator over there. The also changed the algorithm so that the regular users cannot trend anymore.
They stopped the algo from randomly suggesting the contents of others, and all these changes literally started happening after the Nikita Bier, the new CMO took over.
Who is he?
The guy is a regular dude who built shipping apps, he was famous for making a lot of money in crypto during the NFT era.
Literally creating NFT out of thin air and had people buy it. Made millions, left crypto and went back to building coding and shopping apps.
Few years later he publicly ask Elon Musk to employ him, stating all his resume and promising to turn the app around. Elon Musk DMs him and gives him the job.
Fast forward to today, X is now more centralized than ever.
People cannot even use it without the fear of getting suspended. You might be asking "why the hell are you still there?"
Why?
The truth is that I subscribed X premium for one year hoping to build another stream of income. I'm almost regretting that now.
Although I'll probably get monetized in a month or two, but I cannot tweet freely for the fear of getting suspended or saying something wrong. It's a crazy time to be building an income stream in a centralized platform.
It's not just Twitter doing these stuffs, mostly all of them are doing that, but, looks like crypto is increasing getting uncertain with the terrible black swan events and the uncertainties.
