Yeah that does seem to be his goal, de facto or otherwise.

4/16 Twitter responded with enthusiasm and offered us the opportunity to buy a package to host the movie on a dedicated event page and to promote the event to every Twitter user over the first 10 hours.

This is not a thing.

I see no reason to believe anything in that thread.

seems like bullshit to me

I will say that I've recently reported a few people replying in a way that's threatening to trans people, albeit very publicly and not subtly, and they've been banned

11/16 Of course, saying “you have the right to speak, but we'll make sure no one hears you” is a bit like saying “you have the right to cast a vote, but we'll make sure it isn't counted.” That's not a right at all!

TBH I am skeptical of this whole story, but sounds like the kind of bullshit thing Musk would promise. “We’ll push your movie to every user, Blue checks get secret bonus content!”

The goal here is presumably to get musk to tweet about it, which will probably work because he’s a moron

If a Nazi dresses like a Nazi in the forest, and no one is around to see them, are they still a Nazi?

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 1 June 2023 16:54 (eleven months ago) link

Actually lots of funny responses (on both sides!) in there, from blue checks and no checks alike. "That's why we stood at the table." "Is the same true for communists? Only if they split the bill." etc.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 1 June 2023 16:57 (eleven months ago) link

Just as expected:

This was a mistake by many people at Twitter. It is definitely allowed.

Whether or not you agree with using someone’s preferred pronouns, not doing so is at most rude and certainly breaks no laws.

I should note that I do personally use someone’s preferred pronouns, just as I…

I need someone to figure out who is making all these ad tweets sponsored by a one-word company that sounds bogus with a single video clip showing the product

3/4 of the ads I’m getting are from Florp selling foam pool accessories

With nearly all ads I see featuring a similar logo in the profile image, I wonder if most of them are primarily one crappy company trying to find different letter combinations to get around blocks

This actually doesn't seem a terrible idea. Proper muting is actually what you want - the other side of blocking, where the offending person can't read your tweets, is kind of bullshit anyway as they can just read them by logging out (or on an alt account). I suppose it's a minor inconvenience to a determined troll, but I'd trade it for a better mute, maybe one that even filtered out screenshots of the person's tweets (Musk's ha ha).

Alba, Thursday, 8 June 2023 08:10 (ten months ago) link

It's good because it stops the troll interacting with the tweet — they can't so easily QT or RT and bring their unblocked followers to the pile-on.

stet, Thursday, 8 June 2023 08:44 (ten months ago) link

Ah that's true. Fuck Musk after all.

yeah, I always thought the ability to block advertisers was going to go away eventually. I also wonder if Elon is still mad that about the Block the Blue stuff.

1. Install Blue Blocker

2. Go to this search results page: https://t.co/ZvEKcywLhx

3: Press F12. Paste this in console:
setInterval(() => {window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);}, 1000)

4: Wait for ~2000 users queued

5: Close the tab and go about your day
