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

[squeekness]

The only time I have ever read twitter was when someone posted a link to it....so now, if I can't read the link because I am not a member of tweety, I will not have a damn thing to do with it anymore....and this does not bother me at all.

I'm the exact same way. I never have had, nor do I ever intend to have a Twitter account. Why would I ever want to visit such a toxic place?

lol

Twitter is breaking in hillarious ways, apparently.

Melon tells people to stop using Twitter for a while.

Reminding people he’s a horrible overlord in reality or his fantasies.

God, he’s such a moron.

God, he’s such a moron.

A tiny man, who was baited into a level of stupidity, rarely seen.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

God, he’s such a moron.

A hateful moron, though the two often go together.

 

[samsnee]

No no no, see he’s limiting it because it’s too popular!

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Twitter’s new renegotiated Google Cloud contract went into effect in July so that could have as much to do with these site-limiting measures as anything else.

He views the twitter business model as everyone is as addicted to twitter as he is.

Apparently Snapchat's pay service has over 4 times the paying subscribers as Twitter. lol

Well, you fire 80% of the staff, and then you have to follow the whims of Dunnig-Kreuger made flesh, well. Things won't work great.

It’s insane watching his stans pretend this is a good move. After so many years of MAGA bull****, you think I’d be used to it, but this is a level of “the emperor has no clothes” that I don’t think I’ve ever seen.

We live in a society that worships billionaires. They can do no wrong. They are above us mere mortals as they were successful in their endeavors. Which is simply not true. They use their wealth hide and subterfuge themselves with an image of excellence and develop a cult following. The world is an oligarichal system.

Musk has had a lot of help from the media on cleaning his image, taking his lofty bull**** at face value. Honestly, its an issue with all of Silicon Valley.

Why do you call him Melon? Like, Elmo, I get. But what is Melon?

Elon M. is Melon.

Hope that clears that up.

I was honestly just looking for a less controversial name to use and that’s what I landed on.

• Elon Musk announced limits to how many tweets Twitter users could view to combat data scraping.
• Twitter's former head of trust and safety said the rationale behind the decision "doesn't pass the sniff test."
• The limited functionality at Twitter comes amid negotiations for a contract for Google Cloud storage.

Because American freedom doesn't include childless white couples. Because that's Constitutional.....
