    That's not gatekeeping a hobby, that's fighting Nazis. Now if you say only x can fight Nazis, that's gatekeeping.

    The thing is, nazis and other right wing weirdos are the ones who want gatekeeping. While nazis wanted it for obvious reasons, those that are less far-right often thought that by creating "conservative-friendly" circles, they can avoid censorship from conservatives.

    Yes, this was the logic behind new atheists too. Blair White got it from there actually.

    X doesn't fight Nazis, they welcome them.

    It's called Twitter, Nazis don't get to change the names of things.

    I agree, it's just the joke only worked if I used that other name.

    I roll with "Elon deadnames his child, a human being with emotions, and while that remains the case I will deadname Elon's platform (which can't itself care about anything or have emotions)".
