I would like the ability to reshare posts while adding my own commentary to them.

I'm more about resharing without commentary and watching chaos unfold ;-)

Soooo good @tacobell

NEW: An AI app that creates deep-fake nudes of women for the purpose of blackmail is currently advertising to users on X, formerly Twitter. https://t.co/NqehoIEbzD

fucking hell!

AI (this tech bro version of it anyway) sorta fits in my head as the new crypto.

My social media idea was Bucket List - you just join, share all the things you want to do before keeling over and people encourage each other and share photos of checking things off and whatever. This would undoubtedly last a week before Nazis ruined it.

it's a good idea!

This is how humanity is going down.

I like it

what will people be tweeting on the day the world ends

complaining that their issue is being erased

not with a bang but on xitter

i will be tweeting the tux pooh meme, it will be very funny and would have gone viral but

kinda wanna get the Fumble Dimension guys to do a non-sportsie "the last day of Twitter"

what will people be tweeting on the day the world ends

about how the world is just fine and anyone who thinks it’s about to end is not only wrong, but a complete dumbass

Thought he had an easy target. Didn’t realize dude rockin the sandals/jeans/ponytail/solo Bluetooth was born into the shitty internet debate. Molded by it. When Mr TikTok was out partying he was studying Usenet archives and paying for Something Awful…

MUSK

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-21/thousands-of-x-users-report-issues-on-platform-downdetector

Here’s a fun rumor (I question it’s accuracy since it came from advertising people): Joe Benarroch, joined Twitter with Linda Yaccarino, has been discussing a sale of Twitter in his talks with some of the advertisers that bailed in the past month. Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway also discussed a possible sale on their latest podcast. The people I heard this from also claim Threads is way more popular than what you’d expect. I doubt this too (despite being good news for my 401k). Who knows?

According to various speculations and analyses posted in this thread over the past year of the Xitter debacle seem to agree that the investors behind Musk would have to sacrifice about 60% to 70% of their original investment to get Xitter off their books. I guess they must be able to read the writing on the wall.

yeah i mean twitter is clearly on the verge of being unsalvageable if it hasnt already passed the threshold, these people gotta be thinking about getting whatever they can out of it at this point

Who would buy twitter? You’d have to ban musk immediately for it to make any sense.

i will buy it

I can chip in $420.69, he might go for it.

what's the point when you have FB status updates?

Evergreen post.

I can chip in $420.69, he might go for it.

guessing you'd have more luck w/$14.88

Thread on quitting twitter bcz Elon is fash and the thing is broken and it could break you. Quite interesting little graph because for me that's where the thread breaks down. I don't like the mainstream sources and the sources that 'dominate' the narrative.

Though I consume bits of the former via people despairing at bias against Palestinians.

Want to know who is controlling the narrative Twitter on Israel and Gaza right now? It's not the New York Times or the Washington Post or even Fox News.

It is a network of seven accounts. They are all propaganda. At least one is a neo-Nazi.https://t.co/DVDsJW9ulo pic.twitter.com/cA1l2PPXtB

I don't like the mainstream sources either but don't see how neo nazis are an improvement. Ofc when you use twitter you're not looking those up but that is besides the point of the thread.

The graph talks about sources I hardly ever see but then again I joined 5+ years ago and have calibrated a lot of the follows.

The thread seems to be talking about networks that seem to be forming on disinformation, but I think people in the US and Europe are already voting for fascism before Musk took over the site. Not seeing how he is making twitter a lot worse.

I mostly think the same, its difficult for me to judge too as I only see my feed which isn't necessarily reflective of anything other than what I've put there. The misinformation stuff is largely linked to or sent from elsewhere so I've no real way of knowing if thats increasing or people linking to it and sending from elsewhere is increasing, which would be more on them than Musk

That being said, definitely more random stuff that I don't follow manages to insert itself, though this is mainly a) Musk himself, b) people falling over or having accidents and the like

Yes I don't think any of us are in the target group for these sources, it's not partic good propaganda to push your stuff onto ppl you already know will be skeptical/unsympathetic.

I don't think twitter EVER had the power to sway elections (doubt Trump's win was on it any more than it was on Facebook boomers), but if it ever did it certainly won't in 2023/24, its reach has always been chronically overstated due to the amount of journos on there but even before Musk bought it the main concern of ppl working with social media in NGOs and etc already was "no regular people use twitter".

The thing is more that it is quite successful as a niche for nazi recruiting of a specific type of person - and was so before Musk bought it yes, but there were at least some safeguards in place of what counted as bannable and etc. that are now gone.

Yeah, have reported loads of antisemitic posts that are then ruled ‘not a problem’ or whatever their waffle is.

My own follows/mutuals etc are pretty carefully chosen in the first place (and over 13 years) so I don’t see horrible RW stuff by them ever, just antisemitism/Islamophobia/racism/terfs deep in others’ mentions which I report when I think it might be acted upon.
