Couldn't have picked a better time to come up with an outrageously greedy change to an existing service huh
he just told Benjamin Netanyahu
lmao wtf
it's wild too because bot account owners are more likely to pay a small fee than real users. hope he does it that would be the death knell
I want Twitter to die more than my continued using of Twitter at this point.
It sucks all the other social media dry by it's very presense.
Let's go back to an amalgamation of various socials or better yet: Internet forums/message boards.
the last 83 changes musk made to the website have only ever made it worse but this clearly bad 84th idea is going to completely change the platform for the better, trust me guys
During discussing twitter in a pub a person was quite angry that I didn't refer to the bird site with the name
likes so much. The same person sometimes argues that dead naming is not a problem, till the new name is accepted by the state in official registries and the person got an ID with that.Flip side of the same coin.
The last 83 changes were supposed to kill Twitter but I keep hearing from people on Twitter about how nobody should be using Twitter at this point. Surely this 84th nail will be the final one in the coffin.
He could easily get a few million chuds to pay him money for the dopamine hit of seeing their last tweet got 84 trillion views and likes on a website that used to be dominated by libs.
Use the following link only for the appropriate and opportune time...

What if we take the free thing and charge people for it?
sports stadium airhorn blows as I win capitalism
I was going to say that people need water more than twitter, but the way some people use it... :yea:
Elon musk saw how fast the ceo of unity was destroying faster than he could destroy twitter
WAIT are they charging devs whenever a steam user uninstalls and reinstalls a game, forever?? lol
Edit: AND THEYRE TRYING TO MAKE IT RETROACTIVE?? LOLOLOL 2023 CEO BRAIN STRIKES AGAIN
now as long as we just keep adding on new fees and algorithms to decide the fees and systems to control the algorithms and pay 800,000 technicians around the world to keep it all in check forever... The System Works™️!
We're realy getting to the point where the inherant ridiculousness of infinite growth is getting harder and harder to hide.
Capitalist is like one of those childhood games where 2 kids pretend to have superpowers and they keep coming up with new OP moves like "Unbreakable titanium shield!" and "Titanium-melting lava bolt!" and then "Super-lava-resistant invisible forcefield!" each to one-up the last one, except they never stop, we're all beholden to it, and the game decides our paychecks
and the game decides our paychecks
the game is causing a mass extinction event and destroying human civilization, too
I really think we should fuckin stop them already
Threads has the advantage of not being invite only, but Bluesky has the vibe down of pre Musk Twitter
Just use Mastodon ffs. Shame to see communists lining themselves up to sign up for yet another capitalist spyware program.
Bruh we're literally all already on a list, at least we can provide some pushback against the libs there.
If you want to cede ground in those places out of a sense of purity by all means that is your prerogative.
No one is there.
All joining does is seed a new capitalist owned platform instead of making community driven platforms more appealing with numbers and content.
lol this is so weird. If nobody is there and we pre-seed it with actual communists how is that bad?
You don't have to do it, nobody does. I fail to see how giving free invites for comrades to dilute the liberalism of this budding platform is anyway negative.
Alright I just sent one to you @Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net and @PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net
I'm on there as oldmannikolai.bsky.social
We're gonna have to make a comm just for coordinating efforts on bluesky
We could call it the b-hole
Are you suggesting a kind of space where we can prepare for a hivemind like takeover.
Some kind of preparation h if you will.
Yes i just ripped of an Austin powers joke in 2023 but I'm bored at work.
your account isn’t coming up for some reason, is there a typo?
hmm idk here try this link to a post I made https://bsky.app/profile/oldmannikolai.bsky.social/post/3k73vavk27r2l
If everyone quits twitter the bots will leave too.
Musk is 4 parallel universes ahead
I really do wonder how rotten his mind will be 10 years from now.
I wouldn't be surprised if he found Jesus along the way. In all likelihood it's going to be nasty American supply-side Jesus
He is totally primed for a "actually the most rebellious thing you can do is become a Christian conservative" angle
If it's not dead already I don't see how it ever dies.
It should have been a ghost town 2 weeks after musk took over but people are so addicted to it everybody keeps talking about how Twitter is done for on Twitter.
Not really sure why there's anybody left at the nazi bar other than nazis at this point.
I also never had an account but that's just a layman's outside perspective.
Elon taking over had a relatively small effect on the material conditions of the average user. Charging everybody to use twitter would be a huge change.
I would say opening the flood gates and letting all the banned fascists back in would be about where the "material conditions of the average user" would have changed enough for me to leave the nazi bar but again I've never had an account.
It actually had a lot of impact on the research community. Just the "minor" change earlier on to not let unlogged users see threads caused a lot of stress for people who depend on twitter for research news. The main issue is that those and the artists who make twitter worth using are very small fish compared to the main users (fascists, celebrities and porn).
I bet this isn't even about increasing revenue. He just wants to make sure twitter is exclusively filled with his dick riders
44 billion for a personal ego boost service, billionaires are so smart with money that we should give them more of it
