Oh
Not photoshopped https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump
Oh, it's pathetic. But honestly, him losing Twitter is far more enraging to him than him losing the election.
The other platforms have a fraction of the engagement.
The only thing keeping Twitter's lights on is reactionary shitposting.
The cultural divide is going to continue to grow as liberals stay on Twitter and the right goes to Parlr (once Trump makes an account). Small chance (I'm thinking 30%) that the Left gets tired of fully lib Twitter (or fully lib Twitter gets tired of them) and moves to Mastodon instances.
Trump won't go to Parler, it's been taken off the Google play store and Apple has a problem with their policies.
Untick the "Enable advanced web interface" box in preferences and it will look pretty much identical to twitter.
it's UI is a bit strange, you just have different things open in different columns. i like it but not everyone does. there's a few alternate frontends for it to make it more conventional.
I haven't used it a ton, but in what way?
It's federated/FOSS nature should mean that UI issues can be customized away, but maybe there's a core issue of some sort?
Oh if it's like that, I think you'll come around if there's ever an exodus. Any new platform is gonna take some getting used to, especially with the complexities of federation at hand. It'd be an organic thing anyway since it's Twitter's game to lose (mass bans targeting leftists, for instance).
While we're on the topic, how would you feel if the admins spun up our own instance? So you'd be just a couple of clicks away from "tweeting" as skoubalon@chapo.chat on Mastodon
Customizing the UI requires not being too repelled by the UI to sign up.
Nah you just use a different one. This ain't twitter, you don't go to your account settings to pick the theme.
Web 2.0 and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Perhaps there should be 4 social media sites; one for authoritarian right-wingers, one for libertarian right-wingers, one for authoritarian leftists, one for...
There's a lot of their base that 1. Won't be able to use parlr due to it being not as convenient of a platform and 2. Actually don't want to be seen shmoozing with literal neonazis on that platform.
A large chunk of the republicans are fucking completely bought into it, but a bigger chunk are just white pearl clutches that want zero to do with actual fascist ideology.
Just like when the one news network, forget which one, cut him off cuz he was lying about the votes. Same thing I was like “oh you guys found you balls finally, only took you 4 years” 🙄

damn I wonder what Milo Yiannopoulos has to say about this: twitter.com/Nero
I'll miss some of his unintentional dril tweets.
The Coca Cola company is not happy with me-- that's okay, I'll still keep drinking that garbage.
They've banned the Team Trump account too because he tried tweeting from that
I really fucking hope he starts posting on the Emergency Alert System out of desperation, I want an Amber Alert about Graydon Carter

Trump with the energy of a redditor desperately cycling through alts because he got banned from his favorite sub :michael-laugh:
Someone tell him about the free speech available here at chapo.chat.
Oh shit oh fuck now we can never be sure if an anonymous chud poster isn't actually Trump.
10/10 the first account he has his team hack for him is Ivanka.
people advocating for some weird sort of neo feudalism reaping what they sowed will never not be funny
They claim it’s for inciting violence, but we all know the truth. :assad-must-stay:
That man is on fucking suicide watch now. So is the doctor and Brooklyn Dad.
You'd think they had standards for pins, but they don't and I love it
Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left...
Jack Dorsey sitting in a conference call with Nancy Pelosi and the CEO of Antifa, gleefully nodding their heads as they agree to shut down Trump’s account
I laughed until I realized there’s a nonzero chance we might literally see this within the next week or so
Edit: Complete with muscular Trump being silenced with a ball gag labeled “Communism” or “Censorship” or some shit
He did the same with a campaign account too - which also got shitcanned for ban evasion :assad-must-stay:
High key bummed he won't tweet some big juicy military secret in rage on the way out. He's not gonna be in power anymore, who gives a fuck? Does it matter? I guess he could have still incited violence against LGBT/PoC, right? It's funny when they attack the state, not so much when it's vulnerable comrades.
Okay, nice. We'll be able to see the good stuff if he ever fesses up. But also, that's probably not a good thing
He wants to still be cozy with other New York elites and so on, and wants to still live in the US and keep his assets probably. He can still be rehabilitated by the ruling class right now (maybe).
His cultists are as usual going to see this as proof that this is a coup in itself by the Democrats allied with Big Tech.
Not that they're wrong that Big Tech is deeply in bed with the Democrats, which was proven beyond a doubt when they started literally censoring all posts about the NYPost's Hunter Biden story.
Oh no, it's the logical conclusion of my own ideology!
TBH the logical conclusion of American conservative ideology is literally just The Turner Diaries but IRL
