X -Where Twitter goes to die.

Wait until the just shut the site down.

I'm kind of surprised Germany hasn't already, it is legit illegal to make any statement glorifying Nazis there.

Yes, please repost all violating content. That makes a lot of sense.

Musk's response -

Our policy is that everything is open source and transparent, an approach that I know the EU supports.

Please list the violations you allude to on 𝕏, so that that the public can see them.

Merci beaucoup.

That was good. It really shows what a lying, terrible scumbag Musk is.

But didn't we already know that?

Whew.

Whew.

It was so fantastic it does not exist for me. Maybe its blocked here in Socialist Europe.

Officially for me neither, PBS Frontline. But technology (VPN) beamed me temporarily to Chicago. But I do not have the patience to view 1h53mins.

Lots of people I follow on X/Twitter are putting up facetious posts that start like this:

I was holding my two-year-old daughter on a walk moments ago and for the first time, out of nowhere, she said

Does anyone know to what that refers?

I think this is the original:

I was holding my two year old daughter on a walk moments ago and for the first time out of nowhere she said,

“God is good. God is real.”

I started to quietly tear up. She couldn’t see my face and I didn’t make a sound, but she said,

“Don’t cry. It’s okay.”

and then everyone else is clowning on it.

The source of something can spread long after the original context is lost. I was seeing "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" memes for 6 months before I saw that god awful Darth Vader scene in "Revenge of the Shit."

If you don't support Trump for 2024 it's because you are either ignorant or evil.

Ignorance I can forgive, but evil faces the wrath of God.

I deleted the Twitter app on both my mobile devices. I still have an account I can access it from the web but rarely go there.

I must be doing something wrong: Musk just followed me.

He hardly follows anyone, that is quite an achievement!

Turns out it was just a "parody" (read: fraudulent) account.

Elon Musk’s X illegally fired employee who publicly challenged return-to-work plans, NLRB alleges

KEY POINTS

• Elon Musk’s X broke the law in firing an employee who criticized the company’s return-to-work policy, the National Labor Relations Board alleged in a complaint.
• Musk allegedly told Twitter employees “If you can physically make it to an office and you don’t show up, resignation accepted.”
• Several workers expressed “concern and outrage” over the directive to return to the office immediately, according to the legal charge.

I'm trying a new thing where I'm blocking all blue checks who just troll with agitprop.

[raison de arizona]

Less than useless, actively spreading misinformation.

Elon Musk’s X hits a tipping point, with widespread condemnation of misinformation about Hamas’ attack on Israel flooding the platform
Journalists, experts, and users of X blast Musk and CEO Linda Yaccarino’s policies as making the platform worse than useless

According to disinformation experts and multiple news reports, the deluge of misinformation on Elon Musk’s social media platform X about Hamas’ attack on Israel was caused by changes that he made to the platform since taking over.

These changes included reshaping the platform’s approach to content moderation, making drastic cuts to its trust and safety team, reinstating banned accounts, allowing any user to purchase a verification checkmark, and amplifying posts from these “verified” accounts to other users.

The misinformation problem on the site is so extreme that numerous journalists and experts are warning that X (formerly known as Twitter) is now useless as a reliable source of information in a crisis.

I don't care about the quality of my feed. I mean, I follow Taitz, Rondeau, Kercher, etc.

I'm curious if blocking blue checks affects the site's monetization efforts.

As it is often pointed out to me, I have few followers (by design), so I doubt I'm affecting anyone's engagement rates.

Yeah. You may want to seek help for that.
