God damn I can’t wait til Twatter finally fucking crumbles. STOP. USING. IT.
But some musician I like only uses it so I have no choice or whatever bullshit
It hurt Ewon’s feewings thiiiiiiiis much!
So much for “Free speach absolutist”. More like just wanting to give hate groups a voice.
Wouldn’t expect anything less from someone who directly benefitted from Apartheid in South Africa.
Yea, such a snowflake smh
Don’t touch my monstah twuck
Let’s be honest, it’s probably not that big
So from the outside, this is looking like an increasingly difficult situation for anyone left of trump still on twitter … whatever you like about the platform … it seems you’re actively supporting and endorsing some pretty sketchy behaviour.
It isn’t, “facts” or “reality” have never really bothered those people before.
He’s referring to Twitter users in general. There are people who I genuinely think care about facts and reality still left on Twitter.
Well, they don’t fuckin care too much do they
Yeah, it’s pretty disappointing.
I like the take that if you’re still on Twitter it doesn’t mean you’re a fascist; it just means fascism isn’t a deal breaker for you.
If you’re helping the nazi bar pay rent with your time and money, you’re still a nazi, you just don’t get as many perks.
I finally deactivated my account after I heard they were turning on Grok by default.
But, I hadn’t tweeted (switched to Mastodon) since Elmu mass-banned journalists for retweeting public information (jet location when near an airport).
I know some non-fascists are still getting good use out of it, but I can’t participate anymore. I keep hearing that Mastodon is letting too much abuse through to marginalized people – even more than Twitter – though. So, I don’t know what to recommend for microblogging.

Yea it’s a bit tough ATM. Straddling between masto and BlueSky might make sense (many are doing it it seems).

Why? Are you incapable of making your own decisions? It’s generally pretty damn wrong.
What’s your source for that claim?
I dunno boss each time I’ve noticed it the summary seems decent enough.
Sounds like it’s been calling out low-credibility garbage and somebody doesn’t like that. Why? Got some sort of stake in misinformation?
Streisand Effect.
Let’s hope so!
why are we using/caring about it again?
Because the richest guy on the planet bought one of the most popular social networks, now runs it as a massive right-wing propaganda machine, and ignoring it isn’t going to make it go away or stop mattering.
so why is ‘white dude for harris’ not on mastodon, instagram, bluesky or whatever the alternative is instead?
twitter, as you say yourself is not a useable source of information or platform for people not on the nazi part of the political spectrum.
its not like a public space we can take over. musk has all the control over who even gets seen.
Likely because those are vastly under populated compared to Xitter. When running promo, you have to go where the people are sadly. It’s harder to make people come to you.
does it matter if they get banned anyway?
Because it’s an election and X has hundreds of millions of monthly active users. It would be irresponsible not to campaign where there are people.
Again, ignoring the existence of X won’t make X go away or stop mattering.

Yeah, and when he uses that power to manipulate the gigantic captive audience he bought, we should call him out on it.
Because those are unfortunately fringe tech, with Fringe user numbers (relatively speaking)
I thought it was founded on Mastodon. At least that’s where I heard about it, 5 days or so before the fundraising call on Monday.
Ignoring hyper-spoiled man-children and their fancy toys is EXACTLY how you deal with those types…
Also, by ignoring it you cut out any ad revenue you would otherwise be generating for them.
But the FREEZED PEACH. And the MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS.
Are we saying that weird Elon doesn’t actually support these things?
Lonnie is a little child in a soft man’s body. If only he’d go the fuck away.
What the hell is X?
Twitter. Or, Twitter is its deadname. I think it’s ironic since Musk deadnames trans people intentionally because he’s a mega-transphobe. X will never be anything other than “Twitter”.
