I never saw any reason to use twitter, and all of this is the only reason I've ever payed any attention to it.


Wish there was a picture of his dumb face when he realized he had to buy the damned thing.

I hope there's an "insane hands" gif out there. It seems too obvious not to have been made, almost tempted myself.

I have a twitter account that I only created and ever used to gain benefits in Fallen London, the old browser game. I'm jot sure I could even find the password to delete it if I tried.

I don’t need Twitter when I can get my bare minimum social interaction from here!

I hope this link works - artist's conception of Musk explaining his purchase of Twitter, using his words.

The only thing is I'm not sure there is any grand strategy behind this, and that this isn't the sunken cost of a tired, overworked and narrow-visioned dude weed lmao man

The outcome I'm hoping for in all this is that Twitter and Facebook go down, leaving the field clear for the return of Myspace.

To Elon defenders, this is what happens with your free speech in place. Enjoy.

[Eric Blank]

Thats what theyre hoping will happen. They want an open, public, heavily publicized and popular forum to spout their racism, hate speech, and where they can egg on acts of violence. American conservatives are looking forward to exactly that.

[auzewasright]

Twitter went from a cesspool full of racism and awful political takes to… the same, really, but with more n-words. Anyone who thinks that Elon is gonna be the savior of the platform or that the platform was worth saving before is sorely mistaken.

"Worse by degrees not by type" is a pretty apt description

There you go.



The hubris of Musk is mindblowing, but the underlying problem is more interesting. Social media run have become so influential on society as a whole that it is problematic to allow them to be controlled by private companies. The ceo of any social media platform has power on the level of a dictator, because they set the rules on what "free speech" means. How can a democracy keep their power in check? 

[auzewasright]

It is a hard question, I generally lean more towards greater support for free speech on this. With how much of communication is social media now, they basically get to control a good amount of what is allowed to be said in general. I don’t really know the solution for this issue, though. No options appear particularly appealing.
