Funny the kind of folks that get suspended on Elon’s twitter.
Once again - the US Government shold be giving ZERO money to this chucklefuck. SpaceX, you want taxpayer money? Boot this clown. No? Well, bye.
Honestly I think there are at least 4 really REALLY good arguments for nationalizing spaceX. Fuckwit Musk is a national security risk.
Free speech my ass.
Literally, and I’ve seen people glorifying that Elon’s Xitter is a ‘free speech’ platform. It’s not even the closest thing to that. It’s a proprietary application where Musk can control whatever he wants and push any kind of narrative that he wants.
Ha ha. Yeah… funny. … gulp.
working lock-step with putin and trump
Putin’s got his own management interface. He just logged on and did it.
I want to say yes, but to be honest Putin doesn’t even know how to turn on computer and he never uses internet.
I kind of understand Reddit, but why do people hang in there with Twatter when there are currently three grown ass alternatives?
Heh, it took me a minute to think of a third one after Mastodon and Bluesky.
Totally forgot about Meta’s thing.
Meta’s thing is… still a thing?
And they’re sticking with that name? … huh
Smarter than me, I thought of Nostr
I think they are talking about Nostr because saying threads is better than twitter is like comparing a piece of shit with another piece of shit.
I mean Nostr is also a piece of shit but for different reasons, it’s basically 4chan but without any moderation at all.
Are you saying 4chan has moderation ?
Well maybe I wouldn’t necessarily call it moderation but it has a site admin that bans people and neighborhoods (IP ranges) for really nasty stuff (like child abuse material). Nostr doesn’t even have that though, some nodes may remove content, but most don’t, and people effectively can’t be banned.
a lot of people use it just because a lot of people use it…
This is called the “network effect,” so called after the Murderbot novel of the same name (recommended). It’s what makes social medias, aggregators, and service platform so “sticky.” It’s what makes platform-capitalism work.
It also makes nice things work too, ofc.
Many big accounts like politicians are slow to adopt it.
Many big politicians are also right-wing extremists, at least here in the US, so that makes sense.
If only. When I ask my friends and relatives it feels like the reach of alternatives to shitty resources is nearly non-existent. We shouldn’t fool ourselves about their current popularity and promote their adoption in our peers ):
I used to joke that Republicans were Russian sycophants, bought and paid for by Putin himself to destroy America. But it’s not actually, and maybe never was, a joke.
Yeesh
No they just take trips to Moscow for fun! And that Russian agent that lied about Hunter Biden was totally legitimate!
GET OFF SHITTER
The widow of Alexei Navalny, Yulia Navalnaya, has had her X account restored after it was briefly suspended for unknown reasons.
This seems a misleading headline, unless what I’ve quoted was edited in. I’m no fan of Musk, but it could be something like a load of people (or bots) reported the account and an automated system put it into review.
Funny how the automated system always catches musks political opponents and not any of his allies
Yeah cuz musk is on Russia’s side and Russia is the one flooding the platform with bots. It doesn’t have to be conspiratorial levels of stuff, in another article they literally said it was an automated action due to reports. So Russia bots mass reported, it got removed, then someone at Twitter (probably not musk) reinstated the account after receiving a message about it.

Musk is not on Russia’s side. I’m against such definition. He is on Putin’s side.
That’s a great point. Sorry for insinuating that all of Russia agrees with putins policies.

Imagine a system that literally pushes this guy to the top.
It literally says in the preview and the article it was restored quickly. There are a myriad of reasons she could have been banned.
I doubt Elon is sitting there with his dick out waiting to ban her, despite what most people here seem to believe?

Eh, I wouldn’t be too quick to discount that.
Then maybe it speaks about the incompetent tech and process used in the twitter banning system.
Why do so many people get “falsely” (assuming you are right) banned all the time.
I’ve no doubt that twitters banning system is a steaming pile, it has a long history of being terrible. Doesn’t change my point.
I’m shocked how many people are still defending a xenophobic, right wing, white nationalist because he opposed Putin.
it’s kind of a common trope in history that pieces of shit can still represent the idea of a broader good.
ghandi was also pretty much scum irl too. (this comment defends neither of them and implies no further similarities than that they are shitty and represented an oppositional movement.)
There was no good in Navalny, he was the Russian version of Nick Fuentes. And the US is exploiting his death to overshadow the conversation that people are tired of war.
