Elon Musk Buys X (formerly Twitter): Just Use Bluesky, Threads, or Mastodon Instead

Musk's idiocy is spreading.

Not a good example to follow, no. Though if Redditt crashed and burned it wouldn't be a great loss.

Is that new info? Thought that was well known by now.

Much like the cancer it is, nothing good will come of it.

It pretty much is common knowledge. I do believe social media is why there's been a sharp rise in suicides among teens.

Social media didn’t have to be like this if the people that ran it were better.

Is it the runners or the posters? Seems to me that toxic posters have overwhelmed hosts and the advertising dollars corrupted those same hosts. Corporate greed.

You can curb the worst of what’s posted if you set out the right rules. And advertisers don’t want to see the toxic stuff either (one of the many reasons they’re abandoning Musk).

That doesn't seem to be as true for Facebook and YouTube unfortunately. Either that or the platforms are just too big to fully control.

True, YouTube seems to have no rules and is like the Wild West. On Facebook there’s plenty of crap but at least it’s not anonymous so it’s a bit easier to take action if someone goes too far.

Elon Musk Declares ‘Cisgender’ a Slur on Free Speech Twitterhttps://gizmodo.com/elon-musk-cis-cisgender-slur-twitter-1850559321

He allows actual slurs against anyone that isn’t straight white cisgender and male on his platform.

He's become a vile human being.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

This is also a reminder that the so-called new CEO is a lightning rod to deflect criticism to instead of the real controller, Musk.

Always has been.

Zuck actually has some hobbies besides being terminally online like Melon. One of those hobbies is BJJ.

Counter proposal, fight in a boat surrounded by orcas.

Twitter issued with 'please explain' notice after surge in online hate post Elon Musk takeoverhttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06...ompels-twitter-to-produce-documents/102505546

I can explain it, Australia. Melon disdains or hates everyone who doesn’t share his own identity and has rigged his new purchase to match his primary audience of one: himself. The end.

I knew Zuckerberg was decent at running. Also he has less to lose - Elon’s ego would be crushed again having to face his fanboys after a loss to a fight he instigated.
