All the more reason to seize the means of communication/ propaganda

Too bad X didn’t ban all European users so our rulers would be forced to choose a better communication platform!

Muskodon 🤣 Just kidding.

I never used Twitter so I can’t say if Mastodon is better or worse, but I don’t like Mastodon. The lack of an algorithm (other than “most recent”) makes it very hard to use for me, since seeing people who either don’t post a lot or who live in different time zones becomes a chore.

The commission had stopped paid advertising in October 2023 so that’s really a load of bullshit hahaha

... says whom?

Literally says so in the article. Maybe read it?

The question was whom the source was for the deactivation had anything to do with money. The article doesn't claim that.

The original deactivation motivation was only due to using the ad composer in a way Xitter didn't like:

My comment doesn’t mean I think it was deactivated for money. It means that since Twitter says the commission abuse the ad system while the commission doesn’t use paid advertisements on the platform, twitters claim is bullshit since I’m not sure how you can abuse a system you don’t use ;)

Shooting its own foot off? Business model of Twitter is number of users, excluding users damages its business , no goodie goodie.

Business model of twitter is ducking off the American fascist parties so musk can get more free government money.

People who have access to back doors are petty and will eventually fuck you up. There are back doors everywhere! Even in fighter jets!

Please for the love of God why won’t people leave this horrible platform and stop enabling this man.

Because they’re stupid.

Same reason Apple users don’t download Signal and Local Send

Because they can’t be bothered and it’s already there, I know, but you’d think there’d be a stronger incentive here
