Just stop permanently.
yeah but money
Why does anyone still use this pile of crap anyway since the kid took over?
Pretty sure users have mostly left.
Companies and public figures keep using it, because for most of them it’s just some intern or bot that was posting.
It takes a while for social media to finally die because of that. They’ll just stumble on like a zombie for like a decade.
The only way it’ll happen faster, is if people loudly boycott anyone that’s still using it. But with 99% of social media sucking ass, there’s not really a place to do it from where companies and public figures will hear it.
No, there are sadly a whole lot of users still on it.
you know because you’re one of them?
Don’t insult children like that, kids would have made way better and funnier decisions lmao
You’re right. Sorry.

I’m still there because I like to know what the crazies think about stuff. It’s still entertaining in its own way. For example, did you know there are business experts on Twitter even smarter than Tim Cook? It’s true…
Tim Cook must be on vacation! I know this because The Sacred Man Himself could never do such horrible thing!
Everyone still there is scared of losing money, or attention.
Sports… beat writers still use it and most news breaks on there first.
most news breaks on there first
I’ve learned about Apple pausing their ads and about Sam Altman being fired on Mastodon. it’s been becoming much better replacement for Twitter in that regard, and is only going to continue to improve.

the Betteridge’s Law guy told me! https://writing.exchange/@ianbetteridge/111427837747897068
I mean sporting news. I use mastodon and regularly check AP and Reuters for actual news. Mastodon isn’t even close to Twitter when it comes to sports.
For the same reason I started using it in the first place. Elon taking over haven’t changed my user experience in any way. It’s the same it has always been. Ironically enough it’s also the only social media platform where my feed is 99.5% free of politics or talk about Elon.
am kid ._.
The only part I hate is that real people have and will lose their jobs due to 1 person that treats this entire situation like a kids game.
The problem I see that it is “pause”, not “quit”.
“Wait until it dies down, then go back to selling Macbooks to the Nazis.”
This
Why just pause
Waiting for the latest Nazi shit to blow over.
So they can start advertising on it again in two weeks when people aren’t paying as much attention again, duh. Just like when all those corporations stopped donating to insurrectionist Republicans, for about three seconds.
Why not remove the app from their app store?
“Exclusive”, at least the forth version of this story I’ve seen today.
Better late than never I guess
They could remove the app from their app store if they cared.
This is practically nothing compared to doing that.
You’re asking a corporation to care for human values when its only purpose is to generate revenue…
“pause”
the surprising part is that they were still advertising on it until now
Are you going to be surprised again when Apple resumes after their “pause”?
Must not touch the Jews! Tim Apple hates that
Just a pause? Planning on hanging out with the #fascists a bit later maybe?
Between this & the Jon Stewart / China bullshit, I’m so glad I never gave Apple’s e-trash a second thought.
They’re gonna head down to the Winchester, have a pint, wait for this all to blow over
Fascists buy iPhones too, I guess.

The worst thing is reading news with X in the middle of the sentences, it looks like a math problem.
To solve for X we must cancel it out.
Removed by mod
I don’t see any of the hardware news and reviews you’ve posted. Did the mods delete them, or am I just experiencing one of Lemmy’s glitches?
I’m here to consume mate.
So this should just be a conveyor belt of promotion for the tech industry?
Should be more than what it is now. Boring as shit!
When will any of these companies realize that they need to leave forever?
If Apple really wanted to send a message, they would suspend the Twitter App (I can’t bring myself to call it by the stupid CyberTruck name) from the App Store.
Maybe after another 11 months of this…
When consumers stop purchasing from them if they go back.

Even if companies do something absolutely heinous, people will stay. That’s why consumer experience is so shit.
Somehow HP still exists as a company.
apple and musk can both go fuck themselves
Not google tho, rite?
It wasn’t an exhaustive list.
About bloody time.
