Why does anyone still use this pile of crap anyway since the kid took over?
Pretty sure users have mostly left.
Companies and public figures keep using it, because for most of them it’s just some intern or bot that was posting.
It takes a while for social media to finally die because of that. They’ll just stumble on like a zombie for like a decade.
The only way it’ll happen faster, is if people loudly boycott anyone that’s still using it. But with 99% of social media sucking ass, there’s not really a place to do it from where companies and public figures will hear it.
No, there are sadly a whole lot of users still on it.
There’s even a bunch of hardcore right wingers praising it in its new form.
Dang. Almost wish I got into twitter so I could see it implode under the weight of 4channers.
you know because you’re one of them?
I’m still there because I like to know what the crazies think about stuff. It’s still entertaining in its own way. For example, did you know there are business experts on Twitter even smarter than Tim Cook? It’s true…
Scott Adams needs to hide away in his Dilbert shaped house, never to be heard from again.
Tim Cook must be on vacation! I know this because The Sacred Man Himself could never do such horrible thing!
Everyone still there is scared of losing money, or attention.
Sports… beat writers still use it and most news breaks on there first.
most news breaks on there first
I’ve learned about Apple pausing their ads and about Sam Altman being fired on Mastodon. it’s been becoming much better replacement for Twitter in that regard, and is only going to continue to improve.
Holy shit snacks, I had no idea Sam Altman has been fired
the Betteridge’s Law guy told me! https://writing.exchange/@ianbetteridge/111427837747897068
I mean sporting news. I use mastodon and regularly check AP and Reuters for actual news. Mastodon isn’t even close to Twitter when it comes to sports.
Yes. I know at least one person. His name is Elon.
am kid ._.
For the same reason I started using it in the first place. Elon taking over haven’t changed my user experience in any way. It’s the same it has always been. Ironically enough it’s also the only social media platform where my feed is 99.5% free of politics or talk about Elon.
The only part I hate is that real people have and will lose their jobs due to 1 person that treats this entire situation like a kids game.
Thosee people honestly took that risk working for that company. I don’t go work for Walmart then cry about it killing small towns, kinda thing.
He bought Twitter.
There are plenty of people who were affected by that
Twitter was a cancer on society long before elon bought it.
They downvoted him because he spoke the truth. I have no sympathy for anyone choosing to work at X or Meta. If you knowingly work at these companies, knowing how they’re run and what they do, you’re a piece of shit. These people are only there to try to boost their own careers, but they’re still participating in the efforts against society that these companies impose.
I dont want to hear about how “Twitter was bought out! What would they do?” Fucking quit, that’s what you do. I’d rather work at McDonalds than have Elon as my CEO.
Meta tried so hard to recruit me. It was HARD to say no. They have amazing facilities, fucking nice ass games everywhere, amazing pay, free food everywhere you look…
and they destroy democracy and freedom more everyday. But I can actually still sleep at night with my low wage somehow… wierd.
This bullshit “grindset”, “do whatever it takes to give me.and mine what we know we deserve” is a subversive mental plant that’s been growing as a seedling from the first time you saw a TV commercial with happy kids playing with better toys than you. And it’s all bullshit. News flash, you and yours aren’t special and you don’t deserve anything extra. However, we we all collectively do deserve better. Just not individually. It’s a grand lie and these morons keep conflating it.
You don’t NEED that job at X, or Meta. You WANT it, because you think you’re special and have earned the right to harm the world that tiiiiiny immeasurable amount, so you and yours can get thier cake. It’s a lie, and we all deserve cake. Don’t skip the line.

Seems I can apply this to everything.
To my knowledge, McDonalds isnt trying to upend our democracy, nor are they inciting Nazis in their restaurants as well as discriminating against other protected classes. Yeah their food sucks but at least they aren’t causing the downfall of society.
And twitter did prior to elon?
How are the people at Twitter doing all these things?
What happens with the HB-1 workers if they’re fired or if the company close?
What if this? What if that? What if the sky falls??
edit: listen, alright, the HB-1 worker system has been fucked for a long time and needs a serious, honest overhaul, these massive companies are abusing the shit out of it, and not ever intending to provide permanent positions etc, I see it all the time. Write your congressmen and ask for them to provide relief funding for victims of HB-1 employer-side contract abuse or whatever its going to wind up being called. They absolutely deserve better, and its FUCKED to trick people into working for cheap and ship them back off to a worse life when the time is up. But that takes time. So you better get moving, because twitter is a falling tower already, with or without my apparent egregious sentiments.
Nearly all companies are cash-chasing shitholes. The real problem here is the disparity of wealth between top and bottom.
We can have more than 1 problem. And 1 problem can contribute to another problem.
Why just pause
Waiting for the latest Nazi shit to blow over.
So they can start advertising on it again in two weeks when people aren’t paying as much attention again, duh. Just like when all those corporations stopped donating to insurrectionist Republicans, for about three seconds.
Why not remove the app from their app store?
He might sell X some time in the future.
That’s not why it’s only a pause.
Please tell more. Don’t let us hanging out.
He’s more likely to have to part it out in the bankruptcy hearing.
Forcing a company to take out a loan to buy itself should be illegal.
Better late than never I guess
They could remove the app from their app store if they cared.
You’re asking a corporation to care for human values when its only purpose is to generate revenue…
“pause”
The problem I see that it is “pause”, not “quit”.
“Wait until it dies down, then go back to selling Macbooks to the Nazis.”
This
“Exclusive”, at least the forth version of this story I’ve seen today.
the surprising part is that they were still advertising on it until now
Are you going to be surprised again when Apple resumes after their “pause”?
Must not touch the Jews! Tim Apple hates that
Just a pause? Planning on hanging out with the #fascists a bit later maybe?
Between this & the Jon Stewart / China bullshit, I’m so glad I never gave Apple’s e-trash a second thought.
They’re gonna head down to the Winchester, have a pint, wait for this all to blow over
Fascists buy iPhones too, I guess.
Or Freedom Phones. Or whatever that atrocity Eric Prince worked on.
No, I’m not joking. The Blackwater guy backed a phone.
Musk being an utter waste of skin isn’t an exclusive.
When will any of these companies realize that they need to leave forever?
If Apple really wanted to send a message, they would suspend the Twitter App (I can’t bring myself to call it by the stupid CyberTruck name) from the App Store.
Maybe after another 11 months of this…
When consumers stop purchasing from them if they go back.
Apple knows they have people locked into their system so unless they do something absolutely heinous they will be safe. It’s investors they would need to worry about. However, many of those also do not care about anything beyond profits.
Even if companies do something absolutely heinous, people will stay. That’s why consumer experience is so shit.
Somehow HP still exists as a company.
The worst thing is reading news with X in the middle of the sentences, it looks like a math problem.
To solve for X we must cancel it out.
What was the original tweet that he said he agreed with? I’d prefer to judge for myself.
Okay.
Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.
I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much.
You want truth said to your face, there it is.
I have no idea what he’s on about. Jews have been pushing “dialectical hatred”? Does he even know what “dialectic” means?
I was about to defend the usage of the word dialectical here but then remembered nazis can get fucked
Maybe, but their followers definitely don’t.
I dunno…spoken and written word maybe?
apple and musk can both go fuck themselves
Not google tho, rite?
It wasn’t an exhaustive list.
About bloody time.
