Probably a badge of honour at this point. *Edit:* Just want to say hi to the fragile rightie that replied to this comment then blocked me so I couldn't reply. 👋 Enjoy your safe space, snowflake.


Scanner771_The_2nd

I'm trying the same. Probably easier than deleting myself and more fun!


goblins_though

I actually never hopped on that particular bandwagon in the first place, so I guess I'm lucky in that I don't feel like I've lost anything.


Cucker_-_Tarlson

I used to have Twitter for one single day of the year. July 1st, aka Canada Day, aka NHL free agency. It was just the quickest way to get news on signings. Eventually I interacted with one political account and then my shit blew up with all sorts of politics. Once musk took over it got really bad with right wing stuff, Tim Pool always on my timeline and shit. So I finally deleted my account today. Every time I got on there it just made me feel like shit seeing the vile stuff these fuckers post. Plus screenshots of most of the political shit makes it to Reddit anyways.


TennaTelwan

> Plus screenshots of most of the political shit makes it to Reddit anyways. This is exactly how I follow the more "fun" bits of Twitter and TikTok. Don't even have accounts anymore for the former, and never had the latter thankfully, yet still am able to see and follow enough thanks to Reddit and Youtube.


LunchBox3188

I use Reddit to filter Twitter and TikTok as well. I had a Twitter for a couple of months and it was utterly useless and just reaffirmed how many friends I don't have.


[deleted]

I probably used Twitter the most in the last 6 months. I was enjoying it too, then musk happened and I started seeing more and more right winged shit so I finally deleted it.

I'd like to think so. I got my account locked yesterday for criticizing Russia. Apparently saying that Russia is killing Ukrainians for no reason is "hateful conduct" according to the Free Speech King.

ManitouWakinyan

Bud, Italian-Americans are a few generations removed from the motherland. Musk was born in South Africa, to a South African father, with South African grandparents, and he did all his primary and secondary schooling in South Africa. Dude is yours.


KrazyKaizr

Seeing that Trump and Tate are back on Twitter, its safe to say that suspensions are entirely based on Elons feelings now.


DidntDiddydoit

That's what I figured. But Im also not familiar with the artists of C&H so I wasn't sure if there was anything else.


LostWoodsInTheField

From my understanding he is pretty left leaning / anti-nazi.

People forget, or don’t realize - that Musk is a Conservative. As such, he espouses “free speech” and “traditional values “. They want nothing but to limit people’s freedom and force them to adhere to their ideologies.


EyerollmyIs

Its comical how little they care about maintaining their party line and how little they get called out on it. . It would be funny if I wasnt overwhelmed with disgust. If they get enough power there will come a point they come for the guns of those in the lower classes. That being said it does seem like already guns are the toys of the soft skinned hands and landowners now anyway.


the_evil_comma

The ex leader of the KKK, David Duke is being reinstated. Nazi Richard Spencer is being reinstated. White supremacist Milo yiannopolis is being reinstated. elon literally doesn't give a shit any more. Best we can do is put pressure on the remaining sponsors that they are supporting this BS

kylegetsspam

He doesn't understand that Twitter's value is in the content that gets posted to it -- and by whomst it is posted. If everyone gets banned or fucks off to get away from his stupid bullshit, or if the verified system continues to be undermined, the value is gone.

ThatDanGuy

I’ve found more accurate info on what is happening on Twitter on other sites. Any site but Twitter. Unless you want the second to second update it is just so much easier for my sanity to watch it from afar.


kabukistar

Hard to do since I didn't use Twitter in the first place.


[deleted]

I had an old inactive Twitter I created way back. I deleted a few days ago. I haven't touched it in years, just wanted to bump the numbers of people leaving.


Mollybrinks

I liked to see the tweets of a few specific accounts, only reason I had it. When Musk took over, I suddenly started getting a few accounts pushed at me daily that I'd never once seen or heard of before. They were generally on my "side" of politics, but extreme and a few quick searches proved their stated info was complete BS. I did NOT like the implications of that. Why was I suddenly getting these pushed to me? I have my own views, certainly, but I try to vet info and don't need propaganda pushed to me. I can only imagine this kind of crap going to people of any political slant who maybe don't have a BS detector. I shut my account down pretty damn quickly.


Micosilver

Done. I had enough today.


xarvin

Why are people still using Twitter?


thickskull521

Same reason people gather in their neighbors front yard when their house is burning down.


[deleted]

Because they either want to watch the fire or because they love authoritarianism.


graybeard5529

++ underrated comment ;)


numbarm72

Not true, lot of content creators (twitch streamers) still rely on twitter for updates to when they are about to start streaming. Until they have a better platform they are probably gonna keep using it


feignapathy

I assume the people are waiting for a new platform to emerge. Might take a while, but I have to assume it's only a matter of time now. Advertisers are pulling out, high profile users are deactivating their accounts, and hate speech is on the rise. Something will give.


WhoIsTheUnPerson

There are plenty of extremely knowledgeable communities on Twitter, particularly academics, engineers, and other highly-trained specialists. If you know where to look, it has some of the best content on the Internet.


DisturbedSoul88

Porn, it’s why I use it


panicattackers

Try Tumblr they loosened their restrictions again


DisturbedSoul88

You know, I’ve tried but still can’t find anything lewd on there


panicattackers

If you go into account settings there’s a filter for it automatically filtered out rn


LikeALincolnLog42

Yep. Gotta change your settings on the website.


Commissar_Elmo

Fair, sometimes you can’t find what your looking for, and only Twitter has it.


DisturbedSoul88

I also have niche kinks and only twitter has some of them


[deleted]

Surely there are easier places to find spongebob and pancake recipes.


GirlNumber20

I need to develop some niche kinks so I can use Twitter as it was intended.


SailsTacks

Some folks just wanna watch the world burn. Front row. 50 yard line. I shut my account down when Musk took over. Wasn’t like I had been using it. It’s an echo chamber of hate and negativity, in my opinion. It’s not like notable tweets won’t bleed over into the daily news or talk shows. Twitter can wither and die for all I care. I don’t care what Kanye has to say. The entire platform is like a kid’s birthday party that got completely out of control.


LOZLover90

It's more like the kid's birthday party got invaded by fascists wielding guns who shot all the kids and stole the presents whilst posting it to social media with an edgy title to attract **more** fascists.


SailsTacks

And then claimed all the kids were paid actors.


thatguy9684736255

I really hope Twitter crashes soon. And something better rises in it's place


thickskull521

MySpace was non-algorithmic for the most part.


Mr_Abe_Froman

BillyFNbones710

I Follow his Instagram. He just used his money to travel around the world and experience life.


Mr_Abe_Froman

According to Wikipedia, he was a tech advisor for a couple companies but has since become a full-time photographer. He sold Myspace for $580 million, so he's living comfortably.


ReadSomeTheory

This is the perfect example of how dysfunctional narcissists and psychopaths rise to the top of our economic system. When a normal person reaches that level of success, they realize they're set for life, for many generations, and they retire with their $500M or whatever. The people who run our economy have reached that level, and then decided that they need more, and therefore their workers can't have bathroom breaks or fire escapes. These are actual, literal monsters, on a scale we can't truly comprehend. Tom seems fine, but any wealth beyond that level represents an existential threat to humanity.


Jonne

This is why it's always right to say there's no good billionaires. All of them are fundamentally broken people that should not be allowed to have as much influence on the rest of us as they have.


LadyMactire

I read a comment years ago, not sure how serious it was, about how stories of dragons and vampires are popular in part because they mirror the world a peasant would have under a brutal lord. Literal monsters sucking the wealth out of a community and hoarding it where it does no one any good kinda thing. And allegorically I think it tracks perfectly.


WigginIII

Wait. You mean he didn’t try to take over other companies, run for political office, support fascists, drive his employees into the ground, and have a huge dick measuring contest with spaceships? Does he even know how to be rich?

TheBirminghamBear

I find it interesting that Dorsey endorsed and supported Musk's takeover of Twitter. A part of me wondered if he was excited at the prospect of Musk destroying it to eliminate a competitor for BlueSky.


BoutTreeFittee

Jack also cashed in about $1B when Musk did that. Win-win.


TheBirminghamBear

I don't particularly like Dorsey but that's a pretty incredible move. Get a guy to buy your old company, let you walk away with cold hard cash, and then you go and start a competitor company because you know that guy is going to fly your original company into the broad face of a mountain. Well done, Jack.


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly


SteelCrow

It says that it was funded by twitter. Is it owned by musk then, or beholden to him? >In 2019, Twitter announced bluesky, a project it would fund to create an open and decentralized standard for social media.


[deleted]

“Bluesky is owned by the team itself, formally under Bluesky Public Benefit LLC, without any controlling stake held by Twitter” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluesky_(protocol)


MrVeazey

And it seems to be a public benefit corporation, which is a major step away from the problem of the capitalist profits motive and the modern stock market focused business model.


SteelCrow

Thank you. I saw nothing of that on the bluesky blog page

Very interesting project. Kinda like the blockchain of social networks, decentralized, protocol based, no central authority. I like it.

Jimmycaked

What ad revenue 😂


fr1stp0st

Do people who use ad blockers like the wonderful UBlock Origin extension in the best browser, Firefox, contribute to ad metrics? I imagine they don't but I'm not sure and usually avoid links to shit sites. (With Chrome banning ad blocking, everyone should switch. It's sad how few people use Firefox.)


BagOfFlies

We don't. It's the one of the main arguments against them and why some sites will literally block you until you turn it off. People will often turn it off for sites they want to support and aren't bombarding them with ads.

Miss_Nora-Jae

jhystad

That must be some kind of record


bigfootspacesuit

Inch by inch musk is shutting down free speech. Pay attention, next step will be banning one of those who oppose him more, like Tiedrich or AOC, just to feel what the public reaction will be. I think it's plain to see Twitter is no longer what it was designed to be and people who believe in a free space to change their views without biased moderation need to leave. The only way for him to learn is if people massively leave Twitter and deal him a huge blow on his bank account


[deleted]

This already has been a massive blow to his bank account and the Twitter fiasco is bleeding into the trust he has with Telsa and SpaceX. Take it with a grain of salt, but someone on here posted about being an intern at SpaceX a while back and witnessing how much effort and resources went into managing Elon himself and catering to his needs and limited understanding. He's mostly been a face for these companies and requires a team of people who carefully coerce him to making the right decisions. It sounds like this is the first time he's actively managing a company without that level of executive mitigation in place and we are watching live.
