Twitter C/D

loll

that guy noah pinion is one of the worst out there, also hes got me blocked so i have to open an incognito tab to just see his terrible tweets

The food is awful! And such small portions!

"nuclear war is not as bad as how it's been depicted in the media" has become a widespread mantra amongst those that prefer intervention/direct military engagement with Russia the past few weeks.

"the whole human race won't be eradicated, only about 70%!"

this is why i advocate for the end of twitter

twitter will never end it is the cockroach of websites

What does it feel like in Europe rn? Pediatricians in Vienna are giving out free iodine tablets. My best friend in Germany tells me her phone is blowing up w/moms trying to figure out right dosage for their kids if worst happens. Docs also telling parents to "seal your windows."

This is Putin’s “at least he made the trains run on time” moment.

some idiot from the Manchester Evening Post interviewed a Ukrainian WW2 veteran ("the most remarkable man I’ve ever met") who "fought against Stalin". Nothing to add!

Deactivated my account today. Totally fed up with it, I was neither better informed nor entertained by it.

Yet still on ILX etc etc

ILX is fantastic compared with that cesspool.

i'm unsettled by the redesign of the twitter mobile app

i'm even questioning if it's been redesigned at all - has it always been like that, and i'm starting to go mad?

What are you talking about? Twitter has been dead for 30 years!

Lloyd Blankfein wins this week's "you have to give Hitler credit..." prize.

He hasn't deleted it yet, impressive

Worth noting even Hitler didn’t permit his military to use chemical weapons, though he had them. https://t.co/jG25woB8kl

— Lloyd Blankfein (@lloydblankfein) March 24, 2022

yeah hitler totally didnt use chemicals against people gotta give him that

Wtf. Twitter just asked me if I want to turn my profile pic into an NFT.

hay can i buy your profile pic for 1.2301323 gasdlfawrop3$

join the discord to decide what i mean

Now that Musk owns 9% maybe I willfinally break my addiction.

Just abuse him each day until he gets you cut off, go out with style.

what if Rambo was named Crambo? not so cool now

bump

lol

It should be publicly owned but that's never going to happen unless communism.

In principle, I don’t believe anyone should own or run Twitter. It wants to be a public good at a protocol level, not a company. Solving for the problem of it being a company however, Elon is the singular solution I trust. I trust his mission to extend the light of consciousness.

Jack is, without a doubt, the stupidest person I’ve ever worked for.

you need to step into the light of consciousness brother

I demand that the first 100k twitter users get super mod powers

(just checked and I was one of the first 31k users)

he sold his first tweet to someone even dumber

Maybe something has changed but I cannot for the life of me understand people reasoning that Twitter is an essential platform. Twitter isn’t a platform. It’s a website. It has been proved time and time again that people, on the web, will readily move on and the stickiness (or even monopolization) Berkman researcher after Berkman researcher claims to exist, doesn’t.

I'm an addict.

Maybe not. 😂

i need to see this attempted, as a fan of engineering disasters

I am curious too. However, everyone I know at Tesla and SpaceX agrees that Musk is a great leader for engineering companies because he is unorganized, has no idea what is going on in engineering, and is way too occupied with other things (i.e., himself) to think about any issue deeply and get invested. Meanwhile, Zuck is still submitting pull requests.

xxpost Twitter and Facebook have been pretty much the standard platforms for more than a decade. Sure, the kids are always finding a new place to hang out, but the olds are not going to move anytime soon.

Or the standard platforms are buying out the new places (see Epic and Bandcamp)

It's like the A&R guy shopping for acts at a gig

Yeah, we haven't seen a real friendster->myspace->facebook churn in years, although outside the US, other sites have dominance (especially in Russia/China)

when it comes to valuation, twitter's a user base, but there isn't an upstart that has made significant inroads into peeling off even a single demographic/group from that user base in a long time. despite all of the right-wing attempts, they've only created small user bases that spend most of their time complaining about what's going on on twitter
