"yeah all three novels were about a woke mind virus"
"pronouns suck"
narrator: the u.s. government did not ask them to remove the accounts
imagine the us government and various agencies of it taking an interest in a communication platform that can be trivially exploited by practically anyone. Imagine that!
the whole thing can be summed up as "twitter gets asked to do stuff and sometimes says yes and sometimes says no, but had a process in place", but seeing as elon fired everyone involved in that process I guess it's all just fine now!
sorry. sorry im trying to delete it

The hacking will continue until morale improves
The stakes could not be higher in Brazil’s election. Yet tech platforms are predictably failing to meet the moment. More than 120 million Brazilians voted in the first round of elections on October 2. A second round on October 30 will determine Brazil’s next president.
Lmao, and he demands they only say nice things about Elon for life
Elon bro you’re subject to Warn and the CA equivalent bro what are you doing you’re just gonna send these folks to the plaintiff attorneys

Don't even need to do any digging to know that every person here is a lying moron
Note that Gregory Eady, the guy who published this paper (and apparently another that's almost exactly the same two years ago?) has his personal twitter covered in "SILENCED!!!!" and "SHADOWBANNED" garbage and quietly boosting Elon Musk supporters. The paper's co-author is Joshua Tucker, a quasi-Russian apologist (or at least neutralist) mouthpiece
lmao he's really gonna do it? blue only votes so he can win all of his own dumb polls, in a bald-faced sop to his own ego. all because a bunch of people told him to get fucked and he can't handle it?
my god, the corn cobbing here is astronomical
Discover a new world of cringe by digging into Elon's "likes"
ELON: I… try? Not to uhhhh pick? Fights? But I do erm finish. Them *manages to unsheathe sword on the third try*
"Amir Shevat, who managed Twitter’s developer platform and had led large teams at Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, was perplexed. Every company did stack ranking differently. Should they sort workers by seniority? Impact? Revenue generated? No one had an answer. “They said, ‘We don’t know. Elon wants a stack rank,’” Shevat says."

look, people are dying of a lot of things, all the time, moreso than usual even.
doesn't mean it's covid. could be anything killing those people
sometimes people just die. none of my business.
"i see that you blocked some nazis, here's more nazis for you to see going forward"
thanks Elon, this makes total sense 🙄
lol we've been trying to tell people this is how the internet works for a decade while the social media companies did everything in their power to hide it
and he just tweeted it out
lmao that the richest man on the planet for some reason burned billions of dollars to please a misanthropic sixty year old Florida man
and he’s failing
There’s a reason Twitter finally stopped burning money when they let Trump take off and let his shadow spawn an ecosystem of Nazi fungus in its shade.
See also: The History Channel and Ancient Aliens / Nazi Super Weapons. The conspiracy loving fash seem to be the most reliable audience to cater for if you want to make money.
seems like maybe no one told elon that traffic numbers are collapsing and he’s about to find out...
and it'll get worse as a knock-on effect of kicking off 3rd party apps where most of the users that say anything worth seeing post
damn he’s got the king mad at him
Musk vs. Royal Landlord might be the ultimate letthemfight.jpeg

I guess it's their equivalent of Red Hammer Week...
The Twitter 2.0 experiment has failed. As ever one need only look as far as SA for guidance in uncertain times.
Interesting thread speculating what is going on with twitter falling apart, basically a lot of interactions especially with high follower accounts are just being dumped because elon is cutting back on resources so much lol
lmao just seeking approval from ANYONE
"Do you like me?"
"Please say you like me and validate me."
"It's fine, no really, it's fine!..."
older tweets are even funnier (and sadder) with Elon's name change
also replies are ever stranger with elon's new breed of psychotic right wing nutjob fanbase
