User growth is ‘stagnant’ on the platform formerly known as Twitter.

Gee I wonder why.
It’s almost as if national socialism was bad for business.

I stopped using Twitter in 2019 because I’d had enough of the Donald Trump show. Didn’t log in again until the day Musk bought it, and that was just to delete it.

Good riddance.

Yeah, most of us have never used it lol. How else? Ideas, anyone? Maybe a demand for our data en mass?

I mean honestly the Reddit boycott of Twitter might actually be pretty significant if the major sports Subs keep it up.

Start associating the site with Nazism, and the people still using the site as condoning Nazism.

Congrats, you just validated more potential Nazis to join the far right

Nah.

I’m saying that they should be blamed for condoning Nazism; not that they are themselves Nazi. The difference is important here because one does not automatically mean the other.

Also, the ones that are validating people to join the alt right are the people already in the alt right. Not the ones saying “you muppet you’re helping those fuckers by staying in this shithole”.

[…] and while X has added some features, like job listings and a new video tab, there’s little sign of the service he’d said would be able to “someone’s entire financial life” by the end of 2024.

Yeah, wasn’t his dream to create some unified platform with X, a “super-app” that does everything? I guess if he was able to follow up on his promises, that’d generate some revenue… Instead, it’s always been some moderately toxic platform (albeit well used) and then just took a turn for the worse. I think “uninspiring” is a good word for this. But it’s definitely not his employees who are at fault, here.

If that was legitimately his goal then he should have kept the developers on that he got rid of, and just retasked them.

Self destructive impulses, desires to own/control and nazis sure do go together.
