In many ways I'm glad what is happening at Twitter is happening as it is. Smarter fascists would have made each change gradually, over months, releasing biased data suggesting no negative impact then moved onto the next change. This would have given advertisers and users time to rationalize it and quickly forget things used to be better.

Instead everyone is being given a stark choice right up front: Be a part of a fascist network or leave.

Right on cue...

@ReflexVE oh look.

Is he *actively* and *deliberately* making the worst decisions?

@ReflexVE Am I mistaken, or is there about 5x less votes then in his last bot vote democracy run?
@k3rn3l3rr0r Fewer bots designed to engage the topic? No clue.
@ReflexVE such a good point, well made… stealth would’ve worked…
@SongOfTheOss It has everywhere else. In news, politics, Facebook, you name it. Elon is dumb and is playing this wrong for his goals and that's to society's benefit.
@ReflexVE I left. Two weeks on here now.
@kamado Working on deprecating it, still got people to assist with the move.
@ReflexVE I think he's riding his hyper focus as with everything else he does.
@phytolipide He's certainly uniformly terrible at all of his chosen pursuits.
@ReflexVE
"Smarter fascists" is an oxymoron. 😐😁
@ReflexVE
I'm intensely worried it will still work
@emceebois It may. I can't quite cut the cord yet due to people and information I can't get elsewhere. That's the frustrating part.

@ReflexVE

I still have a foot over there mainly because of friends who haven’t made the move yet. Now that it will be open season when the suspended accounts return I’m ready to lock my account down.
