He’s not. Someone is spreading a fake statement on Twitter saying he’ll be back on Monday. They confirmed tonight it’s fake.

I can’t wait for them to flee to Mastodon and then end up in prison when the admin sees their DMs.

All I’m reading are a ton of excuses for keeping their accounts. The addiction outweighs morals.

I’m sure there’s a lengthy post about silence being tantamount to complicity and therefore they must soldier on to fight the good fight and dissent one keystroke at a time while simultaneously failing to see the irony of not allowing ANY dissent from the Era-hive mind of their own design…most people here think I’m liberal and to a certain extent I am but I might as well have been Pat Buccanan over there in their eyes before I got banned.

Reminds me of some celebrities moving to certain country if some certain presidential candidate wins the election.

And well, what is Elon supposed to do with Twitter? I thought this was just a circus/smoke screen to help AquaWoman.

Thank god. This is good for the world. Twitter is a joke and the people who spend all day on there, getting their way through moderation, are sickly. They need to go outside.
If Twitter crashes and burns that’s just as well.

ending of twitter or facebook will just create a vacuum and something will eventually take its place. and its more likely with something worse. take tiktok for example or reeee.

i will admit i will be a little sad if Twitter does go. i've had an account since 2007. while i don't post on it i think i'd miss it a bit if it were shut down. if it does then whatever it'll be replaced by something new and we'll all move on.
as for Meta. i hope that shit is wiped off the face of the earth as soon as possible. fuck facebook, instagram, whatsapp, and their shitty meta verse. and fuck zuck.
myspace was awesome. still the best social media site that we got.

Never did MySpace. All I remember is it was a messy looking site focused on music fans.
But it was crazy reading articles about it during the final days when they had a server migration issue and supposedly it wiped out lots of content. You'd think they'd have back up servers in case something went wrong. Nope.

Doubt anyone will be quitting with hiring freezes and layoffs going on at all the big techs.

Myspace was fun for a while and it had a massive reach. Simple layout. Just photo albums, a small bio and a wall of comments. Eventually you could embed songs through html.
My favorite will always be the early days of AIM, good times.

The world of tech and IT is a lot larger than the "big tech" companies. Most of those engineers could easily segue into enterprise IT or other tech positions nationwide earning more than they are now in markets with half the cost of living as the Bay Area.
The Twitter workers are not being fucked over here. A lot of people who don't work in the field may think it's the same as theirs, where a lay off could mean many months of not earning any money. But for those of us in the tech / enterprise IT field, we know we can just float someplace else in a few weeks for likely higher pay and call it a day. These people will comfortably land on their feet. Twitter itself? Well, time will tell.

i lost so many photos on myspace
they weren't anything too special but still a good part of my life was documented on there. i was just a stupid little emo/punk/goth kid (whatever was in) and didn't think about backing anything up.

I have to give it to Musk - for someone in his position he just loves to shitpost with no consequences. Got to hand it to the man.

What a joke. Talking about how he loves civilization and not doing it for the money. He has no problem throwing a whole country (make that 2 including Taiwan) under the bus for Hitlers and stop supporting it with his internet tech because it's coming out of his endless deep pockets. sure Elon.
I love how the twitter freaks are going crazy so he gets points for that.

Let me help you:
Twitter super secret algorithm:
CLICKS, CLICKS, CLICKS, CLICKS
ENGAGEMENT, ENGAGEMENT, ENGAGEMENT, ENGAGEMENT, ENGAGEMENT
Guess what - conspiracy nuts and nazis click much more often than normal pleb.

Musk’s dogshit stupid recent comments about the war in Ukraine makes me way more concerned about this acquisition than I would have been otherwise, but like everything in life, actions speak louder than words, so we’ll see how Twitter changes under his ownership.
Just so we're all clear I'm calling dibs on posting this image in the next page.
