Very smooth, Mr. Musk! Masterful subtlety! Utmost discretion!
Very demure, very mindful.
and I’ll still be here wondering why the fuck people continue to shoot vertical
Because it works on phones?
So does landscape.
Don't be pedantic.
On TikTok you often read comments and stuff, it's very impractical to constantly rotate the screen and a good chunk of it is just people talking where the horizontal space would be wasted anyway. You get used to it and it makes sense there specifically. It's just not the same kind of content.
Phone users want to consume short form video that way.
Considering that nazi content has been otherwise decently moderated on the other major vertical video platforms, I expect that we're going to see a new wave of youth propaganda since no such moderation exists on Twitter. There've been attempts by the right to get into TikTok, but you can only say so much hateful shit before they actually ban you so they've had to keep a semblance of civility there, so it's a little scary to think of what'll happen when that sort of content goes unchallenged on a major social platform now that they can say the quiet parts out loud.
What?
You do realise the far right is explicitly using tiktok and has been extremely successful there. They have awful nazi shit on it. Just the algorithm doesn’t shove it in your face if you’re a leftist à la Musk.
Yeah and tomorrow they‘ll replace their logo with a swastika. But only for US users of course.
Well, the base is there, the color is correct, they just need to add 4 more lines to the X and change the background to be red.
It seems our time with calling it "x (formerly twitter)" and "X/Twitter" have finally come to a close.
It's Twitter. The man deadnames his own daughter; I'm sure as hell gonna deadname his social cesspool.
I just call it "X (formerly Twitter)" for SEO reasons.
How in the FUCk can I search for a single letter in order to find anything?
Haha I never thought about this, that's a good point. Might even bring up results for Tesla model x, or elons son named x...
Nice
