At least two brands have said they will suspend advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after their ads and those of other companies were run on an account promoting fascism. The issue came less than a week after X CEO Linda Yaccarino publicly affirmed the company’s commitment to brand safety for advertisers.

Here comes the waterworks from the alt-right fanboys
When the platform you are on can’t seem to figure out its own brand, maybe it is time to move on?

Instances should ban other instances with heavy communist content and users that advertise the communist ideology, just like they’re most likely doing to nazism and other harmful ideologies.
Like lemmy.world defederating from several tankie instances and the active discussion about defederating from additional communist instances?
Is that thing that is already happening the thing you want to happen or are there some additional things you want?
Is communism in the room with you at the moment?
