"Excellent", responds Musk to himself.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago

Musk looks at Facebook and Nextdoor... "WE'RE #1! WE'RE #1!"

[-] pirat@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Never heard of Nextdoor. What is that?

I briefly used it. It connects you to all of your neighbors. It's good for knowing what's going on in your community.

Also good for finding out how many racists live near you.

I mean, someone needs to engage with the bots on that platform and he's certainly not going to pay someone else to do it.

Twitter has always been the platform of smooth brains. It's not surprising it is all full of shit.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 36 points 11 months ago

They used to moderate. Scientific discussion there was also top tier

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Twitter could be a very different experience depending on who you followed. That's not the case anymore.

I am absolutely shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

[-] joel_feila@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Well not that shocked

[-] einfach_orangensaft@feddit.de 16 points 11 months ago

noncredible take: musk is a us gov sock puppet and if x is like this then its because that allowes 3 letter agencys to lure certein ppl in security to speak so they can be tracked better.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

This would be plausible if there weren't so many examples of the FBI utterly failing to pick up on strings of red flags on social media.

Don't you hate it when you're trying to type and your Enter key transforms into a Fake News key?

it’s better than reaching for a semicolon and typing a russian flag again

[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 12 points 11 months ago

Then stop using it? 😅 Promote your own instance and delete every EU government account on Twitter. Cowards.

[-] clearleaf@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Every X user: Yeah you tell em! Huh? Me? No I use the good parts.

Being a threat to national security, this company should just be dissolved and its owner put in GITMO.

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Really? Are we sure it's not our government?

[-] vacuumflower@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 11 months ago

Well, about parts of the world which worry me the most (Armenia and Artsakh) the EC is the source of calling ethnic cleansing "voluntarily leaving" and the perpetrator "a reliable partner" sanctioning which "would be counterproductive yet". So maybe addressing that is more important.

And if it's not for somebody, then I'm sure that person understands the subjective weight of their opinion for me (about half a turd).
