if you’re still using twitter, then you deserve exactly everything you’re getting from it
Yes, and I’m not using xtter, but I’m still being effected by it. As is everyone on the planet.
*affected. One is a noun usage (effect) and one is a verb usage (affect)
Effect can also be a verb. You can effect change, and thus affect people’s lives.
Yes, true, but this is a lesser used form of Effect, and I thought it better not to muddy the waters for someone trying to learn the arbitrary rules we’ve assigned to one of the more difficult to understand languages in the world: English.
exactly. which is why i shit on it and people using it at every opportunity
The thing that makes me nuts is people justify it by, “but it’s the only place I can find (person or service).”
Back in my day! People posted their products and services on multiple platforms to reach a broader audience. If the creator you like is too lazy to market themselves, having gotten spoiled on “Xitter will do my marketing for me,” then that’s on them. Encourage them to post on other platforms in order to reach you.
They are complicit and so are you.
Exactly. As simple as this.
How else is someone going to find out about Biden retiring? Twitter is the official government platform.
apparently not for much longer, if this post is true
If you’re still on Twitter, fuck you.
How is it still a thing? Every day we stray further from God
There is nothing we can do people. There is absolutely no other option, we just have to continue using Twitter :'(
FYI there is a threads relay to mastadon for the official White House account. There’s also several unofficial xitter relays for VP Harris to Mastadon.
If you’d like official accounts on Mastadon please contact the White House / Biden / Harris and let them know.
Musk has also attacked Harris more directly. “Democrats destroy democracy in pursuit of power,” a QAnon-linked influencer wrote with Biden’s resignation letter attached. “The Democratic elite, corporate media, and billionaire donors successfully pressured the candidate chosen by Democratic primary voters to drop out because he’s down in the polls and losing.”
Same bs “moderates” tried to frame Biden stepping down…
They really do sound more and more like trumpets everyday
So land of the free but if we vote for you to run you have to even if you don’t want to anymore. I didn’t vote for Biden in my primary.
I’ve seen this claim in two news stories with no evidence. I just followed her effortlessly using these steps:
- Tap search button in bottom menu
- Type “Kamala Harris” and hit submit
- Tap first search result
- Tap follow button in upper right
It worked without a problem
I mean, the story linked above includes a screenshot showing the rate-limiting error message. I assume it’s been fixed, but no reason to think the rate limit error didn’t actually happen.
no reason to think the rate limit error didn’t actually happen
- I didn’t say that it didn’t happen
- I reported my experience
- I can think of at least two reasons to fake this story: (1) Harris gained a follower when I performed my test, same as the millions of others seeing this story, (2) bad story about Musk for the Musk haters
So maybe it’s true, maybe it isn’t. I haven’t seen evidence other than the claim of someone who supposedly follows thousands of people but hadn’t yet followed the vice president.
Not saying it is true, not saying it isn’t. Saying it might not be, and my own observation doesn’t replicate the claim.
It was a rate limit for someone following too many people. Anyone can go follow her no problem. The person writing this article know there are morons out there that will eat up and share anything vaguely anti-musk.
Right we don’t need to see any more anti-musk shit because we already know he is bankrolling a traitor.
It is ridiculous that we have gotten to the point that completely clearly pointing out that an article is BS gets downvoted. Do better lemmyites.
The plural of anecdotal is not data.
But a single article that confirms your bias is. Fascinating how that works.
