Abandoned AmericaAbsolutely mind blowing how nakedly desperate you have to be to make your social media platform the only one that flat out bans users for posting links to other social media platforms or linktree. It telegraphs 1) that you are losing so many users that you're in really serious trouble and 2) you're too arrogant and ignorant to realize that this policy, if enacted, is going to just obliterate the tattered user base you have left
I have to say that this is astonishing to me even though my expectation with the acquisition was that the company would be in ruins. But I thought it would take maybe 6 months to a year, not two months
The banning of accounts who post links to off-Twitter accounts really does show what utter clownery it is to "stay and fight on Twitter" when all the rules and access to the site itself are governed by someone who has no respect for his user base at all. Good luck tweeting some sense at that, folks.
The Evil Writer@AbandonedAmerica The only reason to stay now is to disrupt. #Twitter can't be fought from within, but it can be wrecked from within. I support our glorious trolls, people posting full copyrighted movies to Twitter and stuff like that. But it's definitely not for everyone, or even most.
Most should just get out.
@EvilWriter that is literally the only good reason I have heard so far. I support your efforts wholeheartedly
tom4okstate@AbandonedAmerica Absolutely. There seemed to be a contingent remaining under the impression they could shame him into good behavior or maybe influence advertisers leaving in large enough amounts to do so.
Folks. the richest people in the world care only about his own perception of things. Others opinions are of no consequence whatsoever.
@tom4okstate right, and engagement metrics matter more to advertisers than Twitter whining
ChofuAlum@AbandonedAmerica The fact that elmo doesn't even understand that Twitter users ARE THE PRODUCT is absolute evidence he has long been given undeserved credit as being *smart*.
He's just another WM that has been riding his (inherited) privilege gathering praise from wannabes.

@ChofuAlum I agree with you wholeheartedly there. He just showed the whole world that calling him mediocre is in fact giving him more credit than he deserves
Isaac@AbandonedAmerica pUsH hIm lEfT
@isaac2 good luck with that 😄
EricMEagan@AbandonedAmerica the stay and fight…… there is nothing to “fight” for
@EricMEagan only to get the community you care about elsewhere but even that is a bit of a lost cause bc they have to realize that for themselves
@AbandonedAmerica it seems clear. He bought it. He is a bit unhinged. But he can do what he wants with it. Right? So we can only move away from it. Staying to “fight” supports him even if people don’t believe it. It does
hopeless wanderer@AbandonedAmerica the point is to make him go even more insane, keep finding ways to break his so called rules and edicts. force him to change them endlessly
@revolcom look, I do love the rabid badger MO so if you can find the gears to pull them out I'm all for it
PeteTee@AbandonedAmerica Fishy as hell. So much for his alleged desire for "free speech" on the platform.
@PeteTee71 I mean who really believed that though
