Thanks for posting; not the one I'm thinking about & am annoyed I can't discover it now. 😄 The text where someone tells him to anticipate losing ad dollars once he unleashes absolute free speech.
I remember reading an article that one of Elmo's girlfriends told him to destroy Twitter. I should have saved it. I'm going to look for it. It was a text message of some sort.
Twitter/X is now owned and operated by the MAGA/far-right crowd. Twitter is a view into their world.
If Twitter disgusts you, *they* disgust you.
In addition to normal people leaving the platform, Musk has gamed the algorithm; far-right voices rise to the top, and normal voices sink to the bottom.
No.
Twitter went from an awesome fun social media hangout, where we all did our thing and had fun, to a god damned political media network, and suddenly everyone was a journalist and there was no escaping the politics bc clicks bc currency.
They will come for us here too. Apparently after being a billionaire, you aren't happy. So you think the thing that will make you happy is control over the huddled masses.
I'm digging the accounts that compile the right-wing accounts, as grouped by what they promote (DT, maga, transphobia, etc.), and you and can block them all with one click. GREAT feature! 🙂 Any others, I'll just block as I see them. They're not treading shit into my house.
X was always a shithole. Trump looked golden in comparison. Gonna be hard for the deplorable to impact the discourse when they aren’t a part of it at all. Sometimes the social order is determined by who gets the invite to participate. They didn’t. Sucks for them. A win for decency.
When they show up here (Why are they SO hot to be with us when we keep running from the restaurant and leaving them with the check?), don't engage, just BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK.
Half of those "Horrible People" aren't even people! I can clearly remember a couple of months ago, watching two profiles who were clearly bots arguing with EACH OTHER for twenty minutes.
I wouldn’t even give it that much credit. It’s a sewer pipe of humanity’s worst ideas and instincts all concentrated into one stream of hateful and egoistic human consciousness.
I think it was a tool for Musk ego and to become politically relevant.
He now gets to impose his ‘beliefs’ on Millions of people. Governments must talk to him. He can topple them if he wants to.
This man is a danger to all democracies around the world.
His Starlink on/off switch for dictators? 🤯😤
I left Twitter as soon as it became X free speech became hate speech. I honestly take my hate off to those who were able to navigate that space for as long as they did.
That bad place really took it's toll, restricting the reach of left leaning accounts, separating good folks from their tribes, followers. Segregation, & separation from our friends posts, locking us up, and away from those we once had free access too. In the end so glad to cut that hellscape loose.

MAGA is siding with Putin to defend Tulsi and equivocating for sex crimes to defend Gaetz.
The same people will tell you you're not Christian unless you vote for Trump.
Elon is going to buy Truth, so it will only get worse without intervention.
Maga won, yet they’re extremely angry.
I'm a nifty follow, if you're so inclined.
Plus, cute dog photos!
(follow back?)

Leon was incredibly successful at doing just that to Twitter.
If Twitter disgusts you, *they* disgust you.

And we can't say he failed.
Don’t look back.
That’s what I did.

That was the beginning of the end.
