What about the other way around, what’s that called? Like I’ve had women “mansplain” cooking to me because I am a guy.

They don’t have to host them but they can’t infringe on their name.

I honestly think he’s purposefully trying to kill Twitter. It’s a tool people use for things from boycotting and unionizing to full on revolution. Things rich people and their friends don’t like.

  1. Elon doesn’t make money off a lemmy post making fun of him.

  2. People talk about it because it’s interesting. Posting interesting things is pretty much the life blood of social media.

Drawing attention to the dumb things they do, yes. It’s called infamy.

They have plenty of actual fans too, just like Elon. Infamy doesn’t mean you’re ruined, not at all.

A person can be loved by some and hated by others. But if you try to silence the critics then you’re only left with super fans who could care less what you think and put them on pedestals.

Just because you want to ignore someone and have them go away doesn’t mean they will. Elon is relevant because he owns many companies and has lots of money, ignoring him doesn’t make that any less true.

Wait, wait, wait, lemme get this right.

Problem: They were low or revenue.

Response: Increase API costs

Problem: API costs are too high

Response: People started scrapping Twitter

Problem: People are scrapping the site

Response: Make users sign in to view tweets

Problem: People have to sign in to see any ads too

Response: Tell companies that if they don’t spend enough on ads they will lose verification.

I mean, what’s next?
