Musk is being hit with varied accusations of being a Nazi, a Russian, and/or a communist. Everyone is mad at him.
Musk just spent $44 billion to find out that he can't escape responsibility in the eyes of users who are way too online for their own good.
Twitter will ruin Musk's professional/personal reputation.
I appreciate him burning billions of dollars to buy a shit platform and run it completely into the dirt lmao
Truly a visionary
A wide range of viewpoints from Slava ukrani liberal to 14 words Nazi
There's a difference. Just like with exploitation, Liberals prefer to outsource their Fascism.
widely diverse
ah yes. "we have both kinds of politicals, conservatives and liberals"
Kyle Rittenhouse is buttering up Musk on Twitter as we speak.

He's going to turbo this bitch straight into the ground.
PS: I'm back, Elon.
Everyone's already leaving for Tribel Social. According to their bio, the platform is “an innovative Twitter/Facebook alternative that’s free of hate, fake news & bots.”
Libs of Tiktok tried to join, and got mass flagged and banned in 20 minutes :michael-laugh:
Tribel Social is openly recruiting users directly off Twitter for the past 20 hours. Reminds me when Digg stories eventually just became a few comments about moving to Reddit.
Digg went from having millions to 10k's of thousands of users per day in less than 6 months. Let's see how fast Musk can burn $44 billion. Digg was valued at $200 million in 2010 and sold for ~$500k in 2014.
I signed up, but not verification code isn't showing up in my email :deeper-sadness:
What was the reason for the mass exodus? I was never on Digg but I vaguely remember they did a redesign. Was that what set it off?
Sellout. The new owners fucked it up and when people complained, they were told "If you don't like it stop using it."
So, they did.
I don't remember, I just remember that Reddit was a completely shitshow for months because of clashing cultures and norms. Did they ban porn or something?
The beauty of it is that they don't censor any posts. Their algorithms simply filter out fake news, bigotry and hostility. If you want to trend on their network, your posts must be factual and free of bigotry.
Libs of Tiktok posted “Men cannot get p*******.” “men cannot become w**** and women cannot become m**,” and “Joe Biden sniffs little girls.” Instant detection, instant auto-ban.
fake news
We're still going to ban all Russian media and anything that in any way criticizes Ukraine or questions the narrative, even if it's just well sourced articles written before the invasion.
20 different ideologies with 20 different takes on how to kill trans people
the Hell Site is about to get so much better for those of us without accounts. I can't wait to see what nonsense you perverts come up with next.
Some who hate jews for being jewish, and some who hate the jews for ruling the world.
They'll find one of the fascist Jewish talking heads who are currently denouncing like 90% of American Jews as being "Not real Jews" because they're Reform or secular or Democrats or anti-Zionist.
"Let's say, hypothetically speaking, Jewish people who opposed Israel were all to disappear in a, let's say, hypothetically speaking (winks at the camera and his fans), German inspired action, could you really call it a holocaust if they opposed Israel and were thus not real Jews?"
Guess if he makes a massive, massive balls-up of it all, his kind and friendly finance partners from such kind and friendly places as Saudi Arabia and kind and friendly institutions like the CIA will be patient and understanding.
This actually doesn't seem any more sinister or opaque to me than the way Twitter currently does moderation, although I'm sure the results will somehow be much worse.
yeah it's really hard to imagine how the site could be worse. enforcement is already minimal and arbitrary because investing in an adequately sized moderation department would yield few returns. currently the most consistent things they ban are direct threats of violence in language that can be flagged automatically against high-interest accounts. I could see musk scrapping that system, but since the real addicts just remake anyway, I don't see how it would make a difference.
This is probably the extent of what he's actually going to do. Swap out executives, make a big Twitter announcement, and try not to think about how empty he feels after spending $44 billion on a site that feels like it's at the start of its decline. I seriously doubt he'll be able to maintain enough interest to actually pursue some new terms of service or whatever.
Especially if he can’t get Trump on board. There’s a good chance Trump starts roasting him non stop since he’s competing now. Can’t wait to see all the child’s have to choose.
"content moderation council" AKA some of my rich friends who will figure out how to maximize profit (and will most likely come to the exact same conclusions that the previous Twitter people did)
