Jeff C. 🇺🇦🇬🇱@staidwinnow @WarnerCrocker Apple doesn’t offer a social media management tool.
Ghost of Silence@staidwinnow hope so. The more that flee from Twitter, the better

Mary Ann Horn@AkaSci @WarnerCrocker . Or he could build a prison next door to Bill Gates' estate.
Thomas H Jones IIElon going full MAGA in every way: "I'm gonna sue" ...but chickens out at the prospect of what discovery might reveal and what the legal costs vs. likelihood of and associated winnings might be worth.
zeemeermin@WarnerCrocker Hmm, for some odd reason I think that people who want to travelwith SpaceX are morons
xs4me2Its just toxic…
AT-AT Assault 🏳️⚧️That's HUGE. Advertisers using this service will encounter lots of friction to advertise on twitter now, since doing so will be outside of their streamlined process. This means they'll likely cut back, cut out twitter advertising, since it'll cost them extra labor hours to do so.
That's a very sly 🖕from Microsoft to Musk.
st3ph3n@WarnerCrocker burn baby burn 🔥
Richservo 
@WarnerCrocker think twitter will make it to next year?
@richservo the shitshow will continue
@WarnerCrocker think Musk will personally finance it when there’s no advertisers left?
@richservo not until the investors pull out
@WarnerCrocker there’s still investors? He took it private and absorbed it into his parent company.
Wayne’s The Name!!!😁@WarnerCrocker now he's trying to sue Microsoft. Gotta make that money somehow.
myrmepropagandistI don't know much about this tool -- would we want fediverse on it or would that even make any sense? @atomicpoet
Chris Trottier@futurebird @WarnerCrocker For a moment there, you had me wondering if this is coming to the Fediverse.
I don't want federated ads.
Local is fine under certain circumstances, in my opinion.
ocdtrekkie@atomicpoet @futurebird @WarnerCrocker Ads will come. (Some are already here, both from legitimate companies and spammers.) There's nothing inherently wrong with that. The key difference is that ads on the fediverse are... just ordinary posts. We can block them, or block entire instances, at our leisure.
The core difference here is the control is held by users, not corporations.
Andy Jones@ocdtrekkie @atomicpoet @futurebird @WarnerCrocker I've been on an instance with ads. Blocking them doesn't work – they create an account per ad if they want – but OTOH that means they're not on your home timeline.
Ω 🌍 Gus Posey@WarnerCrocker That's a big goddamn deal.

Was this the final straw?

@WarnerCrocker pretty soon the only advertising you'll see on Tw*tter will be Tesla and right wing beer adds. lol
@milquetoast Maybe pillow ads.
@WarnerCrocker ohhhh yeah. Totally forgot about good ol Mike Pillow.

lldgirl@WarnerCrocker well, i barely get exactly what it is all about, but I applaud Microsoft.
dudeguypal@WarnerCrocker great reporting from @MattBinder
Highly recommended follow.
Enrique Barcelli@WarnerCrocker
I believe that with good intentions, #opensource, #cooperation instead of exploitation, and simple hate and abuse moderation, #Twitter could actually work...
We don't even need the adds money...
The real asset is the large community of incredible people who are still there.
I think we shall just wait until is worth $1, and then buy it and fix it. Seriously. 🤔

Tankboy87@WarnerCrocker That’s the smartest thing Microsoft has done in a long time.
enmodo ⚛️ 🧬 🇺🇦 🍉@WarnerCrocker what took them so long? Twitter, the official social media platform of transphobia, misogyny, and neo fascism.
