I agree this is of questionable veracity, but could you imagine if for example fb users had trouble following Trump? There would be a whole news cycle culminating in a congressional hearing. When people talk about the asymmetrical standards that conservatives are held to vs liberals in the media this is a prime example.
He posted a picture on his stream of the error message “There’s a problem here” over the Biden/Harris campaign page, so at very least he’s trolling instead of taking his job seriously. Twitter is his private platform so whatever, but it’s another reminder that Musk will not be impartial and is actually pouring millions into the Trump campaign, so if you’re still there now would be a good time to leave.
Yo it was a good time to leave back when he bought it. It was a good time again when he dumped moderation. It was a good time again when he changed the name to X. Really its always been a good time to leave. Anyone who hasn’t left by now has already ignored so many signs not even Ace of Base can help them.
This is what happens when trying to give equal platforming to buttcracks on top of shoulders. They shit all over everything and dont understand why the mic was taken from them. They dont understand why we can post about single payer healthcare and they can’t say immigrants deserve to die. They think all ideals are equal on the battlegrounds of legislature.
Correction: some of them truly know why. However, they are trying to see what they can get away with, like a toddler testing their boundaries (“but why can’t I have dessert instead of dinner!?”). It is our fault if we fall prey to their BS.
The only thing required for evil to flourish is for good people to do nothing.
Those that are dumb far outweigh the manipulators. Get the dumb ones educated and the manipulators will lose their grasp. Or so I’d like to believe…
That would be called “election interference”
Shocking that people are still using Shitter in 2024.
Anybody still using it at this point deserves all the brain damage it causes. No excuses.
Is it? It’s where most people still post publicly, and until someone unseats Twitter on that throne (which I hope is really soon) no other network is going to compete in terms of having the users people want to follow…
I don’t mind them having account there. They need to reach people where they are after all. I’m pissed at them for not being on any platform that is not owned by a fascist enabler oligarch at best.
Why do you need to see what celebs post? I never had twitter and for sure I will never have X, honestly I never understood the point, is it Facebook with smaller posts?
Not sure. My significant other used to follow football games on there while I was watching them live because she felt it help her understand what was going on. From what I saw it was good at having quick updates, but terrible at relaying accurate information. Mostly just dumb opinions that were proven wrong seconds later. It helped her learn people’s names though, not so much anything more about positions, formations, plays, or any kind of strategy. All of the drama with none of the reason it seemed to me, but I was bias I’m sure.
Hypothetical example, it would show someone pissed about a bad call, but never explain that the call was supposed to be lowering the crown of their helmet and using the helmet as a battering ram in a way that would increase safety risks for players. So unless I explained the bad call after, all they see is the play quickly, arguing and drama, but never know the reason. (Which the announcers would try to explain in many scenarios, but that audio would not show on Twitter)
The bigger shocker to me is that the platform still exists at all… didn’t the largest advertisers pull out? I thought it was hemeraging money. I keep waiting for them to pull the plug on it, or at least sell it at a huge discounted price.
Shitter is just one website. If I post to mastodon, people on hundreds of websites can see my content. Why on earth would I post to shitter if I wanted visibility???
Because one website with millions of users is more reach than 100 websites with few users. Doesn’t mean you should use Ex-Twitter but it makes it understandable why lots still do
Can we revoke his government contracts now?
Seriously though, it should be grounds for getting blacklisted from the government.
Or if the company in question is strategically crucial to national interests, as is the case here, it should be put into federal receivership with the appropriate relevant agency - so, SpaceX goes to NASA, Tesla goes to the DoT, Twitter goes to the FCC, etc.
I so deeply want this to be a case of “fuck around and find out”.
Musk made 151 tweets on Sunday
Assuming he’s awake for 16 hours, that’s over 9 tweets an hour. Someone is definitely scared.
