Are all covid deaths in US because of Trump? What did he exactly do/not do then?

Obviously you should post about it on Lemmy, upvote other posts about it and go into the comments telling the other people who despise him how much you do too. That should do the trick.

I don't know about others but I'm there for the porn

What would be an example of this? It's not obvious to me that by simply voting in a manner that benefits "the rich" then also means it's against your own interests. When someone gains something it doesn't mean I must lose something in exchange.

To claim they're not trying to combat the problem is a lie. I used to get several bot followers a day around a year ago. Now I got none and I've lost a ton of subscribers because the bot accounts are getting deleted. The amount of bots was also the reason Elon wanted to turn down the deal to begin with because twitter lied about it.

Also, misinformation can be combated with community notes. An open source feature I'm not aware of any other social media platform having.

Both of them. I take this kinds of things really hard and it takes me months to recover. I really hope I wouldn't need to go thru that ever again.

Name a social media platform without bots pretending to be real people.

So you want to ban the platforms you dont like/use but leave the ones you do?

The other is the same thing said differently. Not misinformation either.

5 million actual people telling you that ‘x’ political view is common and popular, causing you to doubt, or at least temper your own personal beliefs.

This isn't misinformation. Lemmy gives you skewed image of what political views are popular. Truth social does the exact same thing but from the opposite perspective. These are just groups of people self selecting onto platforms they most feel comfortable at. Having different political views to that of yours is not misinformation and platforms shouldn't be banned because of it.

Tell that to Musk; X bans TONS of people over their viewpoints.

Again, not in any way exclusive to twitter. Go take a look at lemmy.ml/modlog for example. These are both privately owned and the people running them are free to moderate however they desire. If you don't agree with it, then don't go there. That's what I do with .ml instances too.

Well this is what I mean. Either what he did is not good or if it is, he didn't have any meaningful part in it.

Very few things are all good or all bad but I see this as a net-positive thing, or for the very least, step in the right direction.
