Interesting to hear that Google already treats Bluesky as ten times more important than X

It’s almost like destroying a social platform with disinformation, hate and lies is making it less trustworthy…

He went too far in his efforts to influence the American election imo. But also his desperate attempt to comercialise the platform became disruptive, desperate and annoying. 🤷‍♂️ no tears here.

I stopped posting on X basically when it changed from Twitter it became toxic

teawithsoy.bsky.social•217 days ago

Pity this didn’t happen before the US election

mamawolfwarrior219.bsky.social•217 days ago

He accomplished his purpose, and it was likely Russian money

ceruleanman.bsky.social•217 days ago

Who would have thunk it?

missmary1609.bsky.social•217 days ago

yes please

Twitter needs an eXorcist.

mazemwold.bsky.social•217 days ago

A bit like Starmer's Labour.

I'm fine with the toxic keyboard commandos staying on X. They can feed on each other instead of on decent human beings.

chesterkop.bsky.social•217 days ago

Someone (probably the voices in his head) said it would be profitable 😀

johnwestjaws.bsky.social•217 days ago

Either Musk is really stupid, or this was his plan all along.

As the article points out, people are spread to different social media.

Separated.

dannyfearns.bsky.social•217 days ago

Yeah, Twitter is going to need fumigating for sure.

neverheardofher.bsky.social•217 days ago

They’ve got one thing wrong though. It’s clearly called an Xodus or Xorcism

dobbo78.bsky.social•217 days ago

Musk’s association with Trump sounded the death knell for yours truly. Now seeking any way possible to totally avoid the whole squalid bunch.

nikkihack.bsky.social•217 days ago

Twitter used to be a place where you could connect around the world. It’s become a US centric hub. Their “libtard, maga, deplorable, owning the libs etc” is everywhere in everything. We’re interested, but we’re not all US citizens. It’s nice to see the world again.

I totally agree, but did x achieve its ambition, though?
Unless it is dissolved/ delineated as a rogue/ First Amendment medium, I will never be satisfied.

dobiee1947.bsky.social•217 days ago

Something going on between Musk and Google. They aren't exactly at loggerheads, but definitely not warm and fuzzy.

lauramoross.bsky.social•217 days ago

Interesting point in this article about X being even more of an echo chamber for right wing. Are we not at risk of this being a the same for the left and therefore no debate and even more polarisation (even if we take into account its strengths in misinformation)?

Dump the eX. BlueSkies are ahead.

workingklassred.bsky.social•217 days ago

This is fantastic news! Hopefully the implosion of X/Twitter will keep him preoccupied and away from his government efficiently department. Scary that just a egomaniac is the head of a us gov department 🤯😮

millsytrfc.bsky.social•216 days ago

Are you comments section less abusive?

liamthorp.bsky.social•216 days ago

As in here compared with X? God yes. I stopped reading comments on my tweets in the end.

millsytrfc.bsky.social•216 days ago

Yes, that’s good then, I noticed anything not considered RW like the echo or even met office, just had ridiculous bot comments

englishjen.bsky.social•217 days ago

nice to see anither liverpudlian on here

doldine.bsky.social•217 days ago

Couldn’t happen to nicer platform,lol

It's those investors that were part of the $44b bid that I often think about. Musk was the ringleader, but there were a lot of banks and Saudi investment funds behind that deal. It bought Musk a seat in American political discourse, but what do those other guys think about it's downfall?
