We’ve attempted this twice now… too many people are addicted to twitter and won’t quit, they are addicted to the twitter drama, no matter how bad the disinformation and hate speech get.
I think there will (or could) come a time. There has to be a limit. “Elon Musk sucks and Twitter is full of Nazis” doesn’t seem to be the limit, though.
Twitter being owned by a Nazi isn’t even enough. There is nothing that will ever pry their pathetic fingers from Twitter. Fuckin’ Fanta sipping willfully ignorant pieces of shit.
i wouldnt be using twitter but if i want to see don trump jr say that tim walz drinks horse cum, i need to be using twitter with an account unfortunately.
idk apparently people think i’m joking. Personally i prefer to know what the political parties are getting up to on the internet, and elon musk the cunt himself thinks i shouldnt be able to without an account so thats cool.
I mean, I’ve never had a twitter account but I’ve heard it plenty. Just peek over at /r/conservative once a week or so.
I finally got around to deleting Facebook this year too when I found out they’ll cross post your Instagram stuff to Facebook if you don’t click a box somewhere.
I get a lot more stuff done without the doomscrolling.
Fair, but if the excuse is that you can’t get the information elsewhere, that’s just not true. I’d rather give reddit the page views and clicks over Facebook or Twitter.
At least over there, Nazi content actually earns you a ban.
Yeah, but they got rid of those, didn’t they? Elon is going full throttle in the OTHER direction.
I mean, clearly one is worse than the other. I’m sure from a money perspective, it didn’t make sense to shut down /The_Donald. Elon would LOVE to have that crowd.
yeah idk i find i dont really have a problem with doomscrolling, it’s easy enough to just hit the close button and do something else for me, other than that i like to see the stupid shit people are posting.
you can still read some tweets of some accounts, it blocks most of the new tweets and visible replies, plus if you wanna see anything spicy, you literally need an account.
technically the web archive gets around this but then you need a direct tweet link, and finding that shit is too much effort.

I figured Twitter trying to dip into everyone’s pockets by paying for checkmarks would have been the limit. But what do I know, apparently.

Never seen it, but given what I know about the show, hell yeah.

Read that sentence again and rethink your choices.
i would like to be able to do that, but unfortunately i’m not a republican so these things don’t have an insignificant effect on my life.
I guess I don’t get the joke here.

The choice of headline you went with made the whole thing read like an inside out sarcasm.
oh yeah no that original tweet is real. It’s not sarcastic at all.

reddit ironically has a worse front page, and worse business practices, arguably.
I mean I agree, I didn’t like what they were getting up to, that’s why I’m here, but as bad as Twitter? Comon. Have you heard Elon lately?
i mean spez was head mod of jailbait…
They’re both pretty bad/

also its nice to verify certain posts as “real”
I don’t have a X/Twitter account anymore but can still read tweets or whatever they’re called these days

They’re called “xeets.” In my head anyway.
