    I quit when Musk did a Nazi salute.

    We all need to draw lines, and that was a hard line for me. Concerns before, and a hard No at that point. Frankly it disappoints me that many people, including tech folk I respect, are still on X / Twitter -- because I read it as, no line has been crossed for them. They in turn often speak about being apolitical, or wanting to stay out of the issues: ie there are definitely different views on it.

    To me this is disappointing, because at this point in 2025 (re Musk, DOGE, Grok, etc) remaining on X is a political (implicitly supportive of the platform and its people) action. It doesn't matter what the apolitical intent is: things have progressed so far that inaction is a statement itself.

    So my only feeling is that NOS should have quit X long ago.

      A Nazi salute you say? When was that again? I did nazi it. Never mind me implicitly nazi'ing around..

      Everybody should do and go about as they please, but we are apparently watching two completely different movies here.
