he just told Benjamin Netanyahu

lmao wtf

it's wild too because bot account owners are more likely to pay a small fee than real users. hope he does it that would be the death knell

I want Twitter to die more than my continued using of Twitter at this point.

It sucks all the other social media dry by it's very presense.

Let's go back to an amalgamation of various socials or better yet: Internet forums/message boards.

the last 83 changes musk made to the website have only ever made it worse but this clearly bad 84th idea is going to completely change the platform for the better, trust me guys

During discussing twitter in a pub a person was quite angry that I didn't refer to the bird site with the name melon-musk likes so much. The same person sometimes argues that dead naming is not a problem, till the new name is accepted by the state in official registries and the person got an ID with that.

What if we take the free thing and charge people for it?

Bluesky really fucked up with the invite only thing.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like they'll get another shot

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Threads has the advantage of not being invite only, but Bluesky has the vibe down of pre Musk Twitter

He's one of those Main Character bazingas that thinks anyone who he disagrees with must be a bot/NPC/(nazi slurs here) and he wants a great Fatherland where only the elect may frolic and praise him. cringe

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

I think it is a splendid idea and I hope he goes through with it

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bet this isn't even about increasing revenue. He just wants to make sure twitter is exclusively filled with his dick riders

Do they still ban you for linking to your mastodon on that site?

We make fun of him for every decision he makes with Birdsite but he doesn't stop. Does that means he's winning? (serious question)

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

I mean he's how many billions of dollars in the hole? That doesn't feel like winning to me

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He's one of the world's richest people, ridiculously powerful, controls absurd amounts of high tech real capital assets, and has thousands of followers

He's always been winning doomer
