      I find the nazis fascinating for their ability to co-opt symbols like the swastika. Could you imagine that happening today? Taking, for instance, the peace sign, punisher symbol, or Gadsden flag and turning them into quiet hate symbols?

        Wait, what did they do to the peace sign? Also, what about the hand signal?

          They tried to get it for a minute after the okay hand sign. Succeeded for a bit before it was relinquished

        Any symbol they would have chosen would have ended up as the Nazi symbol. Just like the name Hitler or that specific mustache style.

        But the swastika specifically ending as the symbol you can mostly thank to Heinrich Schliemann and Émile-Louis Burnouf finding swastika adorned pottery at a Troy excavation in the 1870’s, and declaring them to be the ancient symbols of the Aryans. https://humanjourney.us/language/external-symbols/swastika-the-hidden-power-of-a-symbol/

          As a quick aside, the term Aryan was also co-opted by the Nazis. It originally referred to the Indo-Europeans as whole, and well the Swastika was present in European art until the early modern period namely as a form of repeating pattern for say rugs.

        The cross/crucifix is quickly becoming a hate symbol. (If it wasn’t already)

    The whole site has been in disrepair for the past 3 years, and with all the breaches and issues lately, this downtime included, you can see the result clearly.

    If it makes you guys feel even better, just know that such failure to maintain software for so long, mostly complex and widely used like Xitter, means that it won’t get fixed easily at all. The knots are everywhere and will require even more time to untangle. Musk destroys everything he touches and I am at least happy about “this” one.

      Musk will arrive on site any time now, and fix all of it with his chainsaw.
      He just needs an extra dose of his meds first.

    The only thing I don’t like about this is the word “temporarily”. Oh well.

      “But I only use twitter for ‘art’”, or “I just follow a few small communities” are the usual excuses these days.

      I hear the same excuses as I did for Reddit, only I’d consider Twitter usage considerably less defensible :)
