Reading the title I thought he’ll retire.
Ah, so he’s going to stop posting there? Right?
Now that his pick has won the election there’ll be no need for negativity now!
I mean in principle this is just a matter of moderation being different from censorship.
But really, an “algorithm tweak”? I am still wondering when or why who decided that we needed to have “algorithms” that someone could “tweak” on the Internet at all. The first kind of “social media” I ever used was web forums where the entire “algorithm” was thread bumping, and even if you insist that we need to have the structure of a microblog: Mastodon does fine without an “algorithm” beyond reverse-chronological sorting.
I think Mastodon does fine, too, but I’ve often heard people complain about the lack of an algorithm. Like, they don’t know how to find things if they aren’t being shoveled into their feed
Personally I follow slightly more than 100 accounts plus less than 10 hashtags and feel I’m already getting plenty of things into my feed, nowadays I tend to unfollow things that post too many irrelevant things more than I follow new ones.
Incumbent wants everyone to talk about how great things are.
Don’t want any Debbie-downers on Shitter once his bestie is in the big chair.
Project mayhem needs to take his balls
He’s such a fucking baby
negativity about him.
My bet is on a scenario where Elon is going to ban people for using ‘cisgender’ term rather than downranking them.
Yes, that town square needs to be happy. That’s a happy democracy!
Mate, the bunting looks awfully like swastikas…
But happy, less negative swastikas, right?
Sure.
What an unserious human Musk is.
I’m curious whether Truth Social will acquire Xitter, or vice versa.
And when.
He’s shutting down his account?
X/Twitter is a misinformation platform. If you know a major influencer that uses, consider informing and directing them to the ActivityPub alternatives and even consider advertising on their platforms if you can.
Sadly we lost that fight to the other centralised platform in Bluesky
I like how you say “that uses” instead of “that uses it” because the former generally implies drug use.
Good point, best to leave it like that 🙃
