Also I'm still not sure what the point of social media is, or why anyone would want it.

People need a place to post those photos of their latest meal or say they just had coffee or complain about kids these days. Or something like that, I dunno.

1. And how do you think I would do that? Ukraine presumably has people better skilled at gathering intel doing that already.

Loose lips sink ships and all that, I'm sure some body will say something about some soldier doing something at some point and you could report that.

Isn't it a little asinine to require someone to take action in the wake of war to prove one's stance against Nazism while the rest of us can safely, passively, acceptably, quietly disdain it? You're asking an unreasonable burden of a fellow forumite.

And it's possible that they have done something, but it's better not to post it on the interwebs due to security concerns (nor is it our business, really).

Internet is not anonymous unless you REALLY know what you are doing.

You forgot the cats. Oh Lord the cats.

You forgot the cats. Oh Lord the cats.

Good reminder. That's the only thing I check on my FB account which I still have for some reason. Cats. Cats, everywhere.

Going back to the original thread topic, I'm starting to have serious concerns about Russian propaganda spreading if Elon Musk gets ahold of twitter. People are already too easily swayed by it, and I worry that people will start to shit on Ukrainians the way Americans shat on Vietnam veterans.

This is a stark contrast to the original position I posted.

[King Zultan]

So is Elon gonna buy twitter or not?

Never said they had to.

[Loud Whispers]

No, Max just needs to stop spending so much time on their computer, do her dishes, buy groceries and overthrow the entire Russian government, it's not that hard smh.

And then have a pint in the Winchester and wait for this all to blow over

The deal fell through, so no.

You should still delete Twitter, though. It might not be that there will be

but Twitter's still the quintessential echo chamber.

Also, the deal hasn't fallen through. Just put on hold. Everyone's still saying they're committed to it.... eventually, and conditionally.

We'll head to the World's End and have a cornetto

[TD1]

I see. So we're going to see this through to the bitter end - or lager end.
