    40 million per month? For check marks? Shit, coming together with a unified move to mastodon to save money and society is the most painless of obligations for those in the limelight. I judge all who remain on that hell plane made manifest.

      It would still take 6075 twitter mass subs cancellations to deplete Musk’s wealth though.

        it’s telling that not too long ago in threads like this there would always be someone chiming in to justify using twitter. now, nothing. they still suckle the twitter teat, they just gave up trying to defend it

    As someone who doesn’t speak native English, is $40mm

    • 40 millimeters of dollars?
    • 40 milliMillion dollars? Or rather, $40k?
    • 40 million million dollars? Or rather, 4 trillion?
    • 40 milliom dollars?
    • 40 morții mă-tii dollars? This one’s a longshot

      As someone who does speak native English, no clue. My best guess is that it is a typo. I think it was supposed to be $40m.

        I guessed that from context and was just making fun of it. Writing it that way is definitely confusing and shouldn’t be done. “mm” is internationally recognized as “millimeters”. In financial papers, sometimes, Roman numerals “MM” are used to indicate millions, but then it should strictly be capitalized. In my opinion, for general use, number followed by a single “m” conveys the idea best ($40m), and followed by “k” for thousand ($40k). Use capitals for more formal settings ($40M and $40K).

          For sure! I hate the ambiguity that it adds. MM in upper or lowercase is something I’ve seen for millions in financial and business contexts, along with a single m for thousand. To avoid ambiguity I ended up using K for thousands and MM for millions back in the day.

    How do I delete X? I’d love to, but I don’t think I have the access or permissions to delete an entire company.

        Yes, that is generally true. But Elon has shown time and time again that he is an inherently malicious individual.

        Is it implausible that a jackass like Elon would spend a small fraction of his wealth to destroy a company that hurt his wittle feelwings?

          not in a vacuum, but I find it improbable he would willfully want to do it in a way that makes him look stupid.

          A glass onion is something that appears to have numerous layers and complexity. But in truth, it’s completely transparent. It usually refers to people trying to ascribe meaning and genius to the actions of giblethead billionaires.

    I’m really sort of disappointed somebody hasn’t launched some transfer service for the entire platform.

      There was almost one but then Xitter nuked their public API which makes it almost impossible, from memory. They knew this would happen, and they did everything they could to stop it.

        What other site do we know of that made their API a pain to use killing the app that I used to tolerate that site that a good chunk of is migrated from?

    I tried to enter my old twitter account the other day as I needed to check some info that was only in a tweets.

    I couldn’t see tweets without login so In. tried to login and they pop-up me with so much shit that I didn’t even tried. They didn’t trusted my login and I couldn’t be bothered to close so many pop-ups to enter the verification code they sent to the email (while of course saying that if I logged in their shitty app or with a google account it all will be easier).

    Sum up. I didn’t check the info. And for now onwards if your organization only post on twitter your organization is non-existent to me as I cannot access that info, plain as that.

      Made a twitter account about 15yr ago but never really used. Tried to log in recently to delete the account. Can’t remember my username, just the email address used. Can only do a password reset if I know username. but no option to be reminded of username…

    I quit both twitter and facebook 8 years ago as I could see the rise of fascism. I feel good about my choice.
