I mean why would you wanna do that? just wwhy?
Something something, deck chairs on the Titanic.
Twittertanic? Twittanic?
Well, he did run the company into a revenue-destroying iceberg (in this case, iceberg = Elon Musk), and is now rearranging the deck chairs as the company sinks, so all Titanic references are apt.
Elon is as a Elon does
I literally don’t care

What is he going to Musk up next?

Step 1: Fire 80% of your programmers
Step 2: Promise new features including getting into banking and ecommerce and literally doing “everything”
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit(?)
Seems like step 3 might involve stopping doing even the basics of keeping your existing client base happy.
Elon has clearly shown that I can trust him with my finances. I am excited to turn all my personal data and money over to his excellently designed software and highly ethical company. What could go wrong?
Step 3 is using chatGTP to break… I mean to build your site
In step 3 is “lose 50% of your advertisers” and “completely destroy a well known brand that’s made its way into common nomenclature” among others
We literally had a joke about destroying a brand the very way musk is at the top rated business school I got a degree from. You kind of had to be there tho
Is it one of Canada’s top-rated business schools and did you get pretty good grades
Top rated in the US and internationally and yes
Did you graduate with someone named Nathan? I don’t remember his last name but it definitely started with an F
It’s remarkably possible, but I have that disease where everyone’s name is Murphy.
I can’t imagine wanting to use Twitter for anything critical after Elon axed the security and compliance teams. Like finance. You’re basically asking for your identity to be stolen.
Don’t they use tailwindcss at twitter? Must be easier to remove dim mode
Elon: “I’m going to delete this thing.”
Everyone else: “NO! Why would you do that kind of thing?”
Elon: “O-o-okay! B-b-but I’m going to delete something today! That other thing, then!”
(Elon continues to read the hypothetical The Best Of Dilbert’s Pointy-Haired Boss book and gets so many ideas, folks)
*spits out water WHAT THE FUCK
Sniffing that glue again.
There’s no benefit to that… I don’t get it ._.
Think of all the extra kilobytes of bandwidth they will save by not serving the dim theme CSS.
I’m pretty sure at this point he’s fully just doing a social experiment
seeing how feral people get the more he changes their addiction app
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/KMER4ULvUx8
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
My guy elron is the one that’s dim…
And he’s the only one allowed to be dim.
I wish it would all just die and fade into obscurity, at this point. Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads all exist. There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.
Fuck threads.
Threads needs to go too. In fact all sites that want to steal/sell all your data and control the whole world do.
There’s literally no need for xbirdsite anymore.
- Almost no one I follow on twitter is on those other sites
- Almost none of the people that follow me are on those other sites
For my use case (browsing art and comics, mainly japanese), Mastodon’s actually proving to be a worthy substitute. Some of the people I follow have already moved to it and Misskey
Most haven’t yet, but the tight-knit feel it has now isn’t too bad.
I post on both, but mainly browse Mastodon and encourage others to do the same.
In my case it’s not so much the people I follow but the people that follow me. I post my photography there and have over 1600 followers when as on instagram I only got 33. I don’t really benefit anything from my following but it’s nice to post my pictures online when people actually see them too.
You should check out mastodon.art then
Want to share a couple of the Japanese art ones? I’d like to have something like that in my feed
Well that needs to change now doesn’t it?
Yeah, but you can’t make them move, can you. People are like birds flocking, they want their communities, and until people start to move organically they won’t go. You can talk to them all you like about how it’s better and how it’s not scary, but nobody’s going to go anywhere that doesn’t have the content they want.
I came here early in the reddit migration. The content I wanted was there, but I understood that new content would be created here with time.That proved to be completely true. The amount of content has absolutely exploded in a short time and it’s still growing.
It was worth the risk to use something that both reflects my value system and does not support those that actively behave in ways I find deplorable. I’d rather not engage in social media at all than support any of those monsters. I never used x/twitter. I left Facebook years and years ago, but was never a huge fan anyway. But, make no mistake, I really loved reddit. I adored it. It was my favorite place on the internet for a third of my life. But spez ruined it by mistreating people. It hurt to leave, but I had no other option.
I think the lack of content is an excuse. I think, if you haven’t left by now, you just don’t really care - especially if you are aware of alternatives. You probably don’t want to have to care either.
They will if all their friends go
And their friends will go if all their friends go, and so on. ~Strawberry
It’s so annoying. The people I follow keep complaining about musk. Their followers keep telling them to move to Mastodon. But they don’t. What are they scared of? They’ll lose followers? Because I’m pretty sure if they switch and put a link on their twitter, a lot will follow.
At least there’s a bird.makeup instance that reposts tweets to mastodon so you can follow them there, but you can’t interact with them.
I’d much rather have twitter than threads, as bad as it may be
Has he been huffing burning plastic again?
You can’t call yourself X and then not go all dark, that makes perfect sense.
I’m just waiting for the Radio X-like slogans, for the full effect : “we’re the end of the alphabet people, that’s got to mean something, but we don’t know what”
