On the Icelandic twitter, Nazis—or at the very least extremely and explicitly xenophobic rhetoric—has been getting more and more prominent. There was a time where you could look past it for the most part, but currently every time I go on Twitter I’ll spot a very hateful comment or two.

It may be that most of my circle has migrated over to Bluesky and the only people left on Icelandic twitter are either public figures or nazis. So the nazi content is just a greater proportion of the diminished Icelandic content. Or that nazis feel empowered inside the current Twitter atmosphere, which honestly is very scary to think of. I tend to think that the reason is a mix of both.
