The inventor of the hashtag @chrismessina just quit Twitter
@mattnavarra Any idea what his Fedi handle now is?
@vquereda @ChrisPirillo @mattnavarra @chrismessina I read it as "not that I care (enough to fight it)"
@vquereda How so? The check is on the issue, it’s the steady attack on folks who who have made the bird site what it is. In other words, it is larger than one person.
@mtnickerson Not sure I understand... I was merely comenting on the irony of his tweet saying he doesn't care about losing his blue check, but still that seems to trigger leave Twitter for him. I'm not there. I just comment on what I see here. And it is the opposite to "bigger than one person", it is only up to one person - Elon
@vquereda @mtnickerson I would assume that he doesn’t really care about the check mark, but does care that a company wants to charge him a fee to create free content for them that generates engagement and ad revenue for that company.
@mattnavarra @strangetikigod No offense but I’m surprised he was still there.
@mattnavarra They must be effing with him. I still have my legacy check?
@mattnavarra But the NY Times didn't. Because they're addicts?

@mattnavarra

Maybe Elon should hawk a few NFTs if he's so hard up for cash, instead of playing chief twit and highwayman.

@mattnavarra Shit! My keyboard is missing a key!
@mattnavarra that's interesting wonder why they're changing Twitter so much

@gene_cancino @mattnavarra

Because it’s run by He Whom I Call Snukmole, who is both desperate and stupid.

@mattnavarra

If he was on IRC or other Internet chat rooms, he didn't "invent" shit.

He co-opted it for use on social networks as we know them NOW.

Nonsense.

@mattnavarra the blue tick is seemingly now how to show people with more money than sense

@mattnavarra

Elon Musk is following Donald Trumps playbook. Trump came in and undid what Obama did previously and Musk is doing the same to old Twitter. It'll soon be a totally different entity.

@mattnavarra wdym the inventor of the hashtag?
@mattnavarra is that a Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy reference I see there
@mattnavarra that just shows you how hurt for Money Elmo is. Not just him but his investors.
@engineerminded @mattnavarra Musk is a sociopath (as is TruMp).
Why can’t people figure that out?

@lzvolk @mattnavarra People can figure that out.

Many people enjoying Elon's Twitter are the right wingers who are indulging in the insanity and are loving the fact the Elmo is "owning the libs." his buyout of Twitter accomplished their goal, to make libs mad.

Other people holding out that one day he may lose money and sell Twitter at a loss. It isn't happening and if anything, he'd rather see it crash and burn. They don't understand that Twitter crashing and burning is a victory for his followers too. It's part of the plan so to speak.

Others built a community on Twitter who they only know the people that interacts on the platform and not in real life. They are just putting up with it to maintain these communities. It just amazes he how they hold these Twitter spaces to "boost accounts" because they know the algorithm is against them.

@mattnavarra like i said before, it's time to accept that Twitter is done. Its not the same and it will never come back.

@mattnavarra
