Watch for Musk to editorialize much more heavily leading up to the 2024 elections. With all the stuff that heās letting fall into the toilet by firing people or not paying the bills, the fact that someone rejected these ones, means that itās their assigned job to do so.
Shame on them for still having ads on Twitter at all.
They should all get seriously bad cases of long Covid & brain fog.
and a threat to disinformation con artists like the two twits mentioned above. He will have a new book out soon and it is important to spread his book title message far and wide.
So more info about the Boulder office, coming directly from one ex-twitter employee. Apparently the Boulder office was never used:
That was very detailed and informative, thanks.
why LGBTQ+ people still uses twitter surprises me. Though Iāve seen quite a lot of drama on LGBTQ+ Mastodon (including the closure of a relatively popular instance after the admin was mobbed and called ānazi supporterā for suggesting the community should not pile upon players of HP new game. Conversation escalated quickly from there), so I guess not everyone is ready to moveā¦
People spent a lot of time building communities there ā definitely including LGBTQ+ communities ā and often those donāt really move so much as get forced to start over somewhere else. Thatās the one part of all this I feel bad for, people who finally found a table only to have the owner start hanging up Nazi flags all over the bar.
This. I was a prolific Twitter user because I found a community of awesome, smart, cute trans girls there that I really clicked with. I saw the writing on the wall when Musk took over and deleted my account. I have yet to find what I had there again.
Mastodon is great but lacks the discovery and reach of Twitter, Tumblr is good but I just didnāt click with it for whatever reason, Instagram is nice for pics but most of my interaction was text-based, closest I have is Facebook (which I hate as well) where many of the folks I knew from Twitter friended me after I deleted, but thatās also got my cis friends and family on it so I canāt be as unhinged as I was on Twitterā¦ I lost a great community all because some over-capitalized manbaby got his fee-fees hurt his ex was dating a trans girl and decided to turn it into yet another Gab/Parler.
I feel in some aspects I was very lucky to have little attachment to Twitter (really only started using it full time during the pandemic). Rebuilding from scratch on mastodon is been a work in progress (and still is), and I canāt say I follow the same people that I followed in the birdsite, justā¦ similar mindset people. I have to say it sucked for a while; most of my friends are not really threatened by whateverās happening on twitter or remain there for ācommercial reachā reasons, but I canāt stand being there. I donāt want to validate it by remaining there.
Yeah, there was a mass exodus (still ongoing actually) of trans people from there to other places when Musk took over. It was bad enough before that, after it was unusable. I had 275,000 accounts blocked and that was not nearly enough to protect me from GC pile-ons. I get some people have commercial interests linked to the platform, but itās constantly getting worse and worse and I wonder how long before being there is a liability. Iām honestly surprised itās still running.
As Twitterās advertising revenue plummets, owner Elon Musk has repeatedly claimed that advertisers are returning to the platform ā a claim that mainstream media outlets have uncritically amplified even though data indicates that the advertisers publicly cited as returning to Twitter have either never left or still arenāt advertising on the platform.
Oh forā¦
Words fail me. Only screaming left.
That asshole can fuck right off.
The hell? Thatās like saying āheterosexualā is a slur. I canāt wrap my mind around how these people think.
