There's a lot of better options our there nowadays, like Threads or Bluesky.

Threads still has the Instagram account thing, which is a big reason why many havent joined that.
Many like their anonymity on such social media apps, so they dont want to link their Instagram accounts where they are more private, with such a app.
Bluesky, i dont get why that didnt blow up...strikes me as a very Twitter like thing.

I think in the end our hands need to be forced on this.
Twitter has to be banned in order for many of us to move away from it.

I said this before, but Musk being in the end just this frat boy nazi kind of guy...is so boring.
Like, him being the most basic incel is just so utterly lame.

Dude has everything to be a truly unique weirdo in a good or bad sense...but he isnt.
He is just one of those generic, insecure dudebros.
No flavor or anything.

I've already seen users speculating Musk obviously bribed the US Government to make it street legal even with all the terrible quality videos coming out. It's an oddly shaped car made of rugged plastic with stainless steel sheeting glued to it that's pretending to be a truck.

Brazilian judge orders suspension of Elon Musk's X – DW – 08/30/2024

The decision came after the social media platform's CEO, Elon Musk, did not name a legal representative in the country, court documents show.

Breaking News Online:
“BRAZIL BANS TWITTER/X
- Until company complies with court order
- Website will be taken down within 24 hours
- App Stores told to remove app within 5 days
- People using VPN face fines up to $8,874”

This is because of their refusal to comply with the Bolsonaro coup investigation in Brazil.

At issue in the intensifying dispute is whether Moraes can order X to block certain accounts accused of spreading lies and distortions, a request Musk has denounced as censorship.

Most of the accounts under order to be blocked are run by backers of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro, some of which deny he lost his 2022 reelection bid.

Musk challenged the decision and said he would reactivate accounts on X, accusing Moraes of stifling free speech.

The announcement prompted Moraes to open an inquiry into the billionaire in early April over the dissemination of fake news. Moraes also launched a separate investigation into the billionaire for alleged obstruction.

Elon Musk is currently supporting violent insurrections, coups, and riots in multiple countries.

Always fun to see which government Musk is happy to comply with in terms of censorship and handing over user data. That said, fining Brazillians for using twitter feels like a step too far.

Can we just be rid of Musk already?

Like, I want Trump gone too, but at least I can look at this overweight slob looking more and more haggard and sounding more and more unintelligible as each day passes, and I can figure that there’s an expiration date there.

I don’t wanna be dealing with Musk for the next 40 years.
