Yah, alll I can find there a s a bunch of gay porn, the very same stuff that Elon Musk is against. Oh well in the end it’s all about the money

Twitter gave Elon what he wanted… its decrease in market value is chump change to him!

angelanason337.bsky.social•84 days ago

A social network is allowed to be a 'machine of disinformation and propaganda'? It sounds like an excuse to avoid criticism rather than a genuine concern.

randorcam.bsky.social•84 days ago

Disinformation is not criticism. #RageFarmFail

martinsnelke.bsky.social•84 days ago

He promised to get rid of bots, turns out he got rid of users

judyblue007.bsky.social•84 days ago

If he's as smart as they say, and i have my doubts, is he going to wake up one day and wonder how he ended up like this? Serious question...does he drink? What the h happened? I mean...twitter was a going concern and he literally broke it.

randorcam.bsky.social•84 days ago

He’s not as smart as they say. The only intelligent thing he’s done is to hire people much smarter than him and then leech off them.

kingbluedot.bsky.social•84 days ago

Musk is not as smart as he's duped people into believing he is. He's simply another con man. I've looked at some of his ideas for colonizing Mars and his ideas are nonsense for various reasons.
Also, he and Tesla have been under investigation for fraud.
Now you know why he teamed up with Trump.

theoutlier1.bsky.social•79 days ago

He is never going to colonize Mars, but he is going to suck down public and investor money claiming that he is working on it. It is an open-ended boondoggle.

aaron-t-author.bsky.social•83 days ago

What a way with words. 🥹

downwiththematrix.bsky.social•84 days ago

They are leaving because they can’t control the narrative anymore. People are waking up. Elon said it best “Go f*ck yourself”

randorcam.bsky.social•84 days ago

That’s a somewhat pathetic MAGAt comment. #RageFarmFail

clbrodhead.bsky.social•83 days ago

Musk has to much control in our government and our defense systems to be in any leadership role. President Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex.

delevenz.bsky.social•84 days ago

People don't seem to understand what a manipulative and dangerous platform Twitter and Facebook etc have become. This isn't about different views, this is about active and hateful mass manipulation. Regardless of their reason, it would be wise for literally everyone to abandon X and FB immediately.

randorcam.bsky.social•84 days ago

After finding that no conversation could proceed on X without someone deliberately tossing in antagonizing comments, I deactivated X this afternoon. Let the rage farms fight it out with their own kind. Zuckerberg is not far behind.

sawbuzz.bsky.social•83 days ago

I'd get off FB if it weren't for my RA groups. It's my safe and soothing place. ❤️

randorcam.bsky.social•83 days ago

Which are your RA groups?

sawbuzz.bsky.social•83 days ago

They are anonymous for safety reasons.

randorcam.bsky.social•83 days ago

I literally don’t know what the RA acronym means. LOL

delevenz.bsky.social•83 days ago

Just so you know, as a former it security professional; I think you should know that unless you're using chained VPNs with a proxy, your anonymous accounts can still be easily traced back to the IP address of your devices. And if that device was purchased or registered to your name in any way... 🤷‍♂️

delevenz.bsky.social•83 days ago

Anonymous or not, by accepting the new terms for Twitter and any Meta platform like FB or Threads; you agree that you are not the legal owner with any rights to any account along with all content on their platforms.

Read the terms, it's all in there.

If that doesn't concern you, then carry on!

lovers51.bsky.social•84 days ago

I disagree with this statement. The social network's owner is not responsible for the actions of its users, and the organisation's departure from the platform will only limit the spread of information, not eliminate disinformation.

randorcam.bsky.social•84 days ago

Of course a social
media platform is responsible for its content. Nice try trying to defend disinformation. #RageFarmFail

patmfitz.bsky.social•84 days ago

The oxygen that feeds Twitter's fire is attention - deprive it of attention and it will die. I have deleted my account and no longer view content on Twitter, and I hope others follow suit.

artemis-98.bsky.social•84 days ago

Nah that's bullshit.

First thing the muskox did is fire 80% of twitter's staff. Basically all the moderation staff.

That's like being on a rollercoaster and suddenly opening up the safety bars and standing up.
At some point you're going to get hurt then...

blazkodd.bsky.social•83 days ago

Muskow amplifies disinformation with his inane „concerning” and „!!!” replies

boeboebotha.bsky.social•83 days ago

yes you are right. bluesky was a spinoff from twitter. and unlike most democrats i try to listen to all sides. i want to understand & participate on all sides that way i can make an unbiased well informed decision on my own.

elaineavila605.bsky.social•84 days ago

I disagree with this assertion. Social media platforms should strive to be neutral and not take sides, instead of boycotting those with differing views.

randorcam.bsky.social•84 days ago

Disinformation is not a different view. It is an attempt to manipulate people via lies.

thisisbull.bsky.social•83 days ago

X is anything but neutral and Elmo Muskrat censors everyone who disagrees with his fascist lies.

qf-security.co.za•83 days ago

1/ I am not a journalist, but if that is your job or passion... musk do not want people posting externally, punishes this instead promotes Journalist only do so on his platform or if journalists do post a link to their article they are punished by being ratio'd or lower and lower visibility

qf-security.co.za•83 days ago

2/ It made no sense until I considered that he might be doing so to give his AI more data to train on. Regardless, whatever the case, it is wrong, unethical and once again 'not free speech'. I don't use his platform or others so I don't know what truth is. He will blame not take accountability

kit-hrh.bsky.social•83 days ago

3k0bolds.bsky.social•83 days ago

Damn. That is...actually true, too.

awarenessexplorer.bsky.social•84 days ago

It is a disinformation and propaganda machine.
I don't understand why many democratic leaders are still there.

minaforest.bsky.social•83 days ago

🪴

A win for good.

pony6984.bsky.social•84 days ago

i strongly disagree with this decision. freedom of expression and open discussion are essential in a democratic society. censorship and boycotts only serve to suppress dissenting voices.

cloverbud.bsky.social•84 days ago

You don’t get open discussion or freedom of expression on X. It’s all bots and algorithms written to favour a narrative.

booshound.bsky.social•84 days ago

He really shit the bed.

never-maga.bsky.social•84 days ago

Finally somebody stands up to this platform of hate.

onup.bsky.social•84 days ago

dragcrab.bsky.social•84 days ago

So fucking sick of seeing this as if itll do a god damn thing. How many fucking times has something like this happened and nothing changes? Stop being such passive aggresive idiots. This pos monster billionaire doesnt fucking care. Oh boy we sure showed him!

onup.bsky.social•84 days ago

I'd like to see many many many more organizations have the courage to do this!

randorcam.bsky.social•84 days ago

They will when more platforms like X become rage farm bottom feeders.

williedustice.bsky.social•84 days ago

Fuckin' took their time figuring that out

suz8110.bsky.social•84 days ago

We must fight!

cloverbud.bsky.social•84 days ago

Should have happened months ago! X is a weapon, nothing free about it.

god229.bsky.social•84 days ago

This organization's decision is a perfect example of the self-righteousness that often comes with online activism. How do they expect to effect change from within the very social network they're condemning?

mjc6.bsky.social•84 days ago

X is nothing but bots just like you only worse.

randorcam.bsky.social•84 days ago

With that profile you’re right.

hercles.app•84 days ago

By painting it black

blazkodd.bsky.social•83 days ago

By causing losses and eventual closure of biased and disinformation promoting site? Very much

javajj.bsky.social•75 days ago

Nor can everyone who moved to Bluesky 🥴 Bots & Bigots remain. Some of us just peek at the trainwreck now & then 🙄🥴

lauriehosken.bsky.social•75 days ago

You don’t have to repost the article.
Everyone knows this info and posted it already

burakkuflash.bsky.social•84 days ago

I think many are missing the real issue.

Criticism is one thing, but when the network’s “Power User” spreads false or misleading info (even disproven by its AI), it turns most accounts against you, making it neither winnable nor welcoming.

Why would you stay?
