I honestly don't know why people are of the opinion that Musk is apparently a fascist Neo-Nazi. Is it just because he's South African and went on Joe Rogan?

"Mean Tweets" is what it boils down to I think.

Sounds like a done deal.

Musk gets Twitter for $44 billion, to cheers and fears of 'free speech' plan

Elon Musk clinched a deal to buy Twitter Inc for $44 billion cash on Monday in a transaction that will shift control of the social media platform populated by millions of users and global leaders to the world's richest person.

Elon causing the great triggering of 2022.

Oh, what a glorious day.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

That last line is going to set the bigots already showing their ass, off the chain.

It's hard to fuck with that, too. These crazies are going to have to actually fire off a neuron to overcome that one.

I really have no horse in this race. I don't twit. Never had an account, probably never will, but boy howdy ( Billbofet ) if this whole thing isn't brightening my day.

"Mean" sugar coats it, but it's sourced in hate. Hate speech.

 

[Rentahamster]

How's the stock doing? Yes, I'm too lazy to check myself.

He takes shots at pronouns and woke culture so naturally one would assume that means he’s basically Hitler.

It's all self reflective... projection 101.

Oh? Who does he hate?

 

[Mr Nash]

they're already recommending mastodon for their new social media circlejerk bubble

They're gonna hate that it is difficult to ban people there if they opt to self-host. People were losing their minds on when a bunch of shit lords started using Pleroma there to post spicy memes. All they could do was block them, but banning was impossible since the place is federated and the shit lords were on their own independent islands out of reach.

 

[DragoonKain]

Any tech heads here have any ideas on how the platform could improve from a tech perspective, not moderation perspective?

What would releasing the source code actually do? Anything user experience wise?

 

[Kraz]

Oh? Who does he hate?

Look at "mean tweets" and who is being victimized. Works for anyone.

I think you're being asked to provide specific examples of Musk's "hate speech".

[///PATRIOT]

The meltdowns and threats to move to Canada delete Twitter have begun.

share!

Then they're being dishonest and moving goalposts to boot. The subject was about tweets in general not specific user.

You are the one classifying these "mean tweets" as "hate speech" Give us some examples.

Nothing? What a shock.

 

[Catphish]

1. Someone asked why people label Musk as a fascist neo-nazi.

2. Someone else replied "mean tweets".

3. You said "'Mean' sugar coats it, but it's sourced in hate. Hate speech"

4. You were asked to provide examples of his hate speech.

5. You accuse them of being disingenuous and moving goal posts.

 

[Elginer]

I just joined twitter, can’t wait to troll lol

No, I don't bookmark that shit and I'm not wading through it for you.

If you really can't recognize it for yourself already, then you're so far in your own world it would be too much effort to pull your out.

You showed me. Thanks for the education

1. Get rid of all the Russian troll accounts just on there to divide people.
2. All the blue hairs to scream “die, terf!” Migrate to another platform.
3. Can’t get kicked off for stating biological facts

Just those 3 things would improve it immensely.

The blue armpit hair wouldn't leave twitter, they will double down with the brigading.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

Nothing? What a shock.

Guys please stop. Calling out a liberal on their Twitter/Musk bullshit is literally like putting them in a boxcar to Auschtweets, like literally.

Apologies then. I mistook it for something else.

I was asking a genuine question - that went well.

Look at all this goddamn FASCISM. HITLER! BAD MAN BAD!

The absolute mad man only went and bought it!!

Talk about fuck you money.

Good God. You have to check out Reeee.

Some eunuch has started a thread asking if people plan to leave Twitter. The first comment begins with:

'No, I'll stay for now. But I will have an exit plan in case things go to shit.'

Imagine being so dense that you would describe deleting an app as an 'exit plan'.

Absolute fucking planks.

So much of the userbase is at risk it needed an announcement.

Leaving.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I hope twitter votes yes, because I know this is s pump and dumb. He would kill off twitter because everyone would stop using it if it went through, ending a famous social media program.

But this is just a pump and dump so I can keep my twitter stock.

Eh so this was just a pump and dump?

Really wish he would rush this pump n dump along. It's clogging up my news feed everytime he talks about it.

Happy to see Twitter fighting back rather than just rolling over like I was afraid they would at first.

 

[Vicetrailia]

This was all before he offered to buy the company for 46 Billion, and came up with the cash commitments to do it. I have twitter stock, so I'm coming out nice and peachy here.

 

[Fake]

Don't much like the sound of that. Anonymous internet is best internet. Cancel culture thrives because people use their real names.

Wait a sec... was being the anonymous the strength of cancel culture?

Anonymous is the strength of "free speech" because you can better avoid consequences.

 

[DeepEnigma]

This was all before he announced to buy the company for 46 Billion. I have twitter stock, so I'm coming out nice and peachy here.

The writing was on the wall as to why he purchased that stock. It was not for a pump and dump. He can do far more on a return pumping and dumping low end crypto.

I just noticed the rabble responses like it was the "trend of the day" with select users who came in to repeat the hashtag script all in the same timeframe.
