When you don’t agree with someone, they go to jail.

Totally not fascist, though :roll:

Wow.

Musk claimed 3 days ago his firstborn died in his arms. His ex says he lied.

This was Musk's explanation for why he wouldn't let Alex Jones back on Twitter.

Does using fake polls on Twitter to unilaterally reinstate the accounts of doxxers & harassers leave
@elonmusk
open to any civil liability when one of them gets someone killed?
I sigh in your general direction.

Elon Musk, along with the average conservative, is peddling violence.

No one should be abandoning Twitter. It's what Elon Musk wants. He wants to drive away pro Democracy voices and turn it into a vacuum for villains.

I love all these people talking about who should and should not be on Twitter, who aren't on Twitter themselves. :problem:

Bankrupt Musk.

Hopefully it'll end up like Truth Social.

i'll give him his cars, rockets and such. But when it comes to social media, fuck him.

Another platform will take Twits place.

Until then, people need to stick around. He’s already losing advertisers by the load.

And fuck his cars and rockets. I hope Tesla goes down.

Have you ever used it though?

The thing is, Twitter is a strong platform for our voices. If a better platform comes along, sure. But I’m not leaving until it gets shut off.

I had turkey day dinner with a fellow drummer, this guy was in

https://youtu.be/1hYqvtHzr48

until recently and with a high up exec at Tik Tok.

She is disgusted with Elon for the same reasons all adults are, but says he is the visionary of this generation. She is worried like we are and doesnt know the answer to this question, whether to stay or not on twitter.

Then this explains how people on Twitter still using Twitter is beyond you.

It's going to be hard for you to understand why people who are on it are on it, if you're not on it.

Is he? His cars are getting massive recalls. And I don’t care. He’s a scum bag villain. No one should be supporting him. There are better options out there now that everyone is in the EV game.

And if you don’t use Twitter in the first place, I’m not certain what your point is.

You should go on Twitter before telling people on Twitter not to use Twitter.

There are valid reasons for using Twitter.

It's interesting because the people I know who were Twitter users before this takeover but aren't now, do not take this attitude.

Musk should be losing us a well.

Should have been done yesterday............

Find another platform.

Some of us have already been on multiple platforms for years, including today.

If you're not on Twitter, your opinion on use of the Twitter platform is irrelevant. You don't even know how to use it.

Musk just bought Twitter, though. How come you had no interest before?

Anyway, there are other places like Mastodon and Post. Those are the two others I know of outside of the bad places.
